Wonder how someone who aspired to be an English professor eventually became a successful woman in comedy? Listen in to find out!
Alison Leiby '06 has covered the gamut in comedy. From standup to TV writing for shows like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Broad City, to her one woman show Oh God, a Show About Abortion, Alison Leiby '06 has some advice about carving your path in an industry you never considered. "When you're an undergrad, you shouldn't know what you want to do," says Alison. "Just try the things. Try and do them. Take the classes that are interesting to you... And for me, it was I always loved standup and I always loved comedy. And then finally one day I was like nothing else is making me happy, I may as well try it. And I did. And it worked."
A quick heads up for our listeners. Alison speaks briefly about her own experience with abortion in this episode. If you need to avoid listening to that discussion, we recommend you skip the 23 minute and 45 second mark through to 31 minute and 45 second mark.
