Laugh Support

What are the hang-ups that are holding the ladies of Laugh Support & other comedians from success?

Co-Hosts Michele VanDusen and June Bug Colson explore five areas that are worth identifying to move in a more positive and productive direction. 

From social media scrolling to self-doubts and procrastination, the ladies get real about how they really spend their time and some intrusive thoughts that deserve to be challenged and changed. 

June plays a game of The Floor is Lava, Michele has to wear a name tag so she doesn’t get lost, and June can’t sit still as she quite literally walks towards reaching a daily goal.

How does comedian Michele VanDusen celebrate her birthday? That’s a “fair” question.  She takes her grandchild to the fair where she plays with ponies and pigs and entertains herself by watching her grandbaby hose people down at the duck pond! 

Now that’s entertainment.  In this episode of Laugh Support June finds out all about Michele’s birthday adventure, her gigs with Moms Unhinged, her comedy show for a cause, and what it’s like working for an all-female tour. 

Tune in as June takes an inventory of Michele’s background decor and ends up feeling like a real “heel” when she notices something she’s never seen before.

Who Let the Dogs Out? Not co-host Michele VanDusen.  She’s much too weak and dizzy to mess with dogs.  Is she sick? Or, did she just consume too much garlic? Yes, garlic! Don’t ask, just listen to the show.

It’s a good thing this is a comedy podcast because no one should take medical advice from two standup comedians.  Especially when June Bug has been up to a bunch of monkey business. The ladies talk about Release the Hounds Music Festival, outdoor events, hosting shows, and believe it or not, they even manage to link together Johnny Cash, calzones, vampires, puppies, and primates.  Now that’s a podcast you won’t want to miss!
