Season 2 - Ep 16 - Your Place or Mine with Kari Johnson

The Wild World of Open Mic Comedy

Well hello there, babes. Welcome back to Your Place or Mine, hosted by Jessie Olsen. In this episode, we chat with one of Jessie's favourite comedians and dear friend, Kari Johnson.

Kari shares what it was like getting into comedy in Ireland and how she stumbled into it as a volunteer. Hear about her journey moving from the US to Toronto and what it was like working her way into the Toronto comedy scene. We unpack issues of toxicity in the industry and what we're hoping to impact in the future of Toronto comedy. Listen to why you my femme babe listeners should be coming out to check out comedy shows!
