Phoebe Robinson Shows Her Work

31m 45s

In this episode, Phoebe Robinson talks about her comedy special, "I Don't Wanna Work Anymore." She gives us a candid look into the full arc of her creative process, from spreadsheets to the comedy club. We talk about the convergence of art and commerce, the shortcomings of today鈥檚 comedy climate, and how to resist making 鈥渇ast-food鈥� comedy in pursuit of something greater.
