On this episode of Talking Late Night, Max interviews Jen Lenny, an Atlanta-based stand-up comedian. Jen didn't know she was interested in stand-up until she was peer-pressured into doing it with her friends. While her first time went terribly, her second time was great! So she decided to stick with it. Jen has performed at multiple festivals both in Atlanta and all around the United States and in 2016 was named Paste Magazine's Comedian to Watch. Jen is also a huge fan of the television show "The Bachelor" and one day wants to be a contestant on the show. So much so that she started a movement for it. You can find Jen performing regularly all around Atlanta and can also follow her on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

On this episode of Talking Late Night, Max talks with Kristy West, founder of BraveSpace and current improviser. Kristy got into performing improv almost two decades ago with Whole World Theatre in Atlanta, GA. From there, she continued studying and performing until she came to a big realization: that the skills she was learning in her improv class were transferrable to her job in Sales and Corporate Training. From there, she blended the improv and business worlds together to create BraveSpace, a business that goes into corporations to offer "live learning programs and creative business solutions for teams and individuals using the methodology of improvisation." In addition to all that, she is currently in the process of creating and opening her very own theatre with her group "The Founders." Want to learn more about BraveSpace and Kristy?
