Drunk strangers kept asking Audrey Soper "Do you do comedy?" while she hosted trivia. She didn't. But maybe there was something there. In this episode of First Mic, Audrey shares her unconventional path from trivia host to standup comedian — including skipping ALL her classes on the first day of spring semester at OSU to do her first open mic in a dank, moldy basement. Her first joke? Walking up in a schoolgirl outfit with a raccoon beanie and saying "I promise you, I don't think that you guys are important." Why hosting trivia is basically comedy training How low the stakes REALLY are at open mics Why not knowing "what bad to look for in yourself" can actually help The bizarre phenomenon of not being able to read on stage Audrey also reveals her secret: she brings a joke book on stage as a PROP because she literally cannot read while performing. "Hi, I'm Audrey. I'm 30 years old and I can't fucking read." 🎙️ Where to find Audrey Soper: Instagram: @audreysoper Facebook: Audrey Soper 📍 Filmed at Rehab Tavern, Columbus OH 💬 Has a stranger ever told you to pursue something you weren't doing yet?
