The Life Plot

Welcome back to The Life Plot! 🎙️

This week, we’re sitting down with the multi-talented Black Rose (Rose Severino). She’s a New York actress, comedian, and recording artist who recently crushed it as a guest co-host on HOT 97's Mornings with Mero. From dropping dope freestyles on social media to producing Say Sumptin’ Comedy—one of the biggest comedy shows in The Bronx—Rose is proving she is a lot more than just jokes.

Inside the episode:

• The Weight of the Mic: The real pressures of taking a public stance and navigating the aftermath.

• Bravado to Humility: Transitioning from hip-hop’s loud ego to the humbling reality of stand-up comedy.

• Building a Scene: What it actually takes to run a comedy show at LA Bodega in the BX.

Welcome back to The Life Plot Podcast! After a short break, we are back with an incredible episode featuring the hilarious comedian, Laz Rivero.

In this episode, we talk about

Cultural Clashes: Challenging Cuban political beliefs and the "isms" that govern us.

Stand-Up Comedy: The current state of the Latin comedy scene.

Heavy Metal: Our definitive (and highly debatable) top 5 worst metal bands of all time.
