790: Karen Bergreen: Stand-Up Comic

<p>If you’ve been following me on Instagram or get my newsletter, you might know that I recently took stand up comedy classes here in NYC at Manhattan Comedy School. It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. It scared the heck out of me...so naturally, I had to try it. My next performance is TONIGHT at Gotham Comedy Club at 7pm, actually.  And so I thought who better to have on So Money today than my comedy school teacher, comic Karen Bergreen.</p><p>Over the past decade, Karen has been keeping audiences laughing all across the country. She’s been on Comedy Central, the Oxygen Network, VH1, The View, and LIVE <em>at Gotham.</em></p><p>She’s also an author of two fiction books, <em>Perfect is Overrated </em>and <em>Following Polly: A Novel</em>. She and I talk about the highs and lows of being a female stand up comic, growing up in New York City when people *didn’t* want to be labeled as “rich.”..and  Karen’s transition to comedy...She graduated from Harvard, and went on to law school. How and why she pivoted is where we begin the conversation...</p><p>To learn more about Karen, visit <a href="http://karenbergreen.com/">KarenBergreen.com</a> or find her on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/karenbergreen">@KarenBergreen</a>. </p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
