In this episode of Talking Smack 415, Jamie the Great and I sit down with Lynn Harris—founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy, the trailblazing comedy school, professional network, and content studio helping women and non-binary creatives launch their comedy careers, build community, and create hilarious, culture-shifting content.

Beyond comedy, Lynn is an award-winning journalist and novelist whose work has changed the national conversation around violence against young women—leading to new federal protections. She’s also the author of six books, including Death By Chick Lit and Breakup Girl to the Rescue!

 We cover so much in this episode:

• How comedy is smashing the patriarchy
• The power of humor to create change and get people to listen
• Up-and-coming comedians to watch (Cameron Esposito, Maria Bamford, Naomi Ekperigin, Aparna Nancherla)
• Pop culture and the Coldplay cheating corporate CEO kiss-cam moment
• Gen X women having a comedy moment—challenging ageism, sexism, and invisibility on-screen
• The inside scoop on GOLD Comedy membership & programs
• Lynn’s brilliant idea for how we can finally get paid just for being us
  
  

Plus, Lynn is super generous—so much so that she’s offering a special discount code for GOLD Comedy membership. Just DM her on Insta and let her know you heard about GOLD on Talking Smack 415 to grab it!
