Michele Traina joins Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling and Peter Bales on More Stand-Up Memories for a funny, honest, and high-energy conversation about comedy, reinvention, divorce, motherhood, teaching, and turning real-life chaos into material. Michele is a comedian, performer, writer, educator, and creator of Divorce Diaries, her nationally touring one-woman comedy show built around the hilarious and painfully relatable realities of life after divorce. Known for finding the funny in the messy parts of being human, Michele brings a fearless, fast-moving style that blends stand-up, storytelling, and real-life survival instincts. In this episode, Jackie and Peter talk with Michele about building comedy from personal experience, life on stage, parenting, dating, teaching, and why sometimes the best punchlines come from the parts of life you never planned. It’s comedy, confession, and controlled chaos — which, frankly, is usually where the best stories live.
