I'm joined this episode by ASAP instructor and 10-year comedy veteran, Monica Daly! I get to pick Monica's brain about all sorts of comedy tips, tricks, do's and don'ts in standup comedy. She shares some valuable insights for beginners and intermediate level performers through personal anecdotes. You won't want to miss this episode!

Please, do yourself a favor and follow Monica Daly on Instagram and all other social media platforms @laughdalycomedy for information on where to see her perform live!

Military Veterans: check out the Armed Services Arts Partnership program (ASAP) and sign up for a weekend standup course assisted by Monica! It's the easiest way to get a head start in comedy or any of the other art genre for which courses are also offered.
