Misery Loves Mandy is a Mostly Happy Podcast hosted by comedian Mandy Martino; weekly comedians discuss miserable moments and whether or not they made them into jokes.
Mandy Martino: Mandy Martino is a stand-up comedian, writer, and actress. Originally from South Florida, Mandy received her Bachelor’s Degree from The University of Central Florida in business, which helps her professionally write dick jokes. While in college, she began her comedy career at SAKs Comedy Lab and The Orlando Improv.
Once in LA, she continued her love for comedy, where she followed her SNL idols and studied at The Groundlings Theater and School. You can find Mandy performing stand-up all around Los Angeles.
In this week’s episode, comedian Ari Mannis joins Mandy for an episode packed with hilarious, uncomfortable, and brutally honest stories.
From lying about cancer to win back an ex (yes, really), to public bathroom mishaps, dating fails, Waymo fears, and the awkward art of gift-giving — nothing is off limits. Ari turns the darkest moments into comedy gold, and this episode is as relatable as it is unhinged.
