Alina Bock is undeniably funny. She made a name for herself as a comedian-to-watch on TikTok, and has parlayed that fame into a sold-out comedy tour, and roles in films like MAGIC CARPET RIDES, MARK, MARY & EVERYONE WE KNOW & the hit YouTube series BAD BOY. This week on Daddy Dailies we discuss her truly unique path to comedy, which involves being a pop-star (with gold &platinum records!!), going broke, and working her butt off to move to America and pursue comedy. Alina’s openness and dedication to her craft will leave you feeling motivated and inspired.
