Comedian Fern Brady on 'being broke and breaking barriers'

One of my favourite chats of the series so far, I had the absolute pleasure of being joined by stand-up comedian Fern Brady. A shy catholic school girl turned dry-witted stand up comedy goddess, Fern’s twenties journey was complex, colourful and far from straight forward. Though she clearly had a talent for journalism, Fern couldn't fight off the urge she had to pursue comedy, and the majority of her twenties were spent fuelling her side hustle and wondering whether she made the right decision...Fern and I talk all things 'choices', her desire to break through class barriers, living up to expectation and the comparisons between working as a female comic in stand-up to the more 'honest' sexism in strip clubs.Our Favourite Millenial Minesweeper Quote this week was;'The more I speak to people about the wilderness of their twenties, the more I realise that perhaps the greatest achievement of this particular decade, is living through it’ - Elizabeth Day, Failosophy.   Hosted on Acast.
