Joyelle Nicole Johnson is a US comedian known for bringing joy to the stage! Joyelle has performed on Late Night with Seth Meyers, is the permanent guest host on Sirius XM's Godfrey Complex and is currently the warm up comic for Hasan Minhaj's Patriot Act on Netflix.

In this episode we discuss:

• why American comedians are seriously considering leaving the US
• learning to tell brutal truths while still keeping the audience onside
• why nerves can be a sign of respect for the audience
• the night a heckler rushed the stage during her set in Harlem
• how artists can’t thrive creatively when they don’t feel safe
• why becoming a comedian requires “a little bit of delusion”
• and we find out if Joyelle is happy...
