Ep. 82 - Insecurities Ft. Chloe Radcliffe

You Can't Laugh At That

NYC Comedian and Tonight Show writer Chloe Radcliffe proves you CAN laugh at your own insecurities by saying the thing that's on everyone's mind, but is being left unsaid as a way to release the tension.

The birthmark on Chloe's face is an obvious distinguishing feature, so she has multiple hilarious bits about the awkward way she dealt with it as a kid, the things she can't do because of it, and why she knows what it's like to be a supermodel.

We also talk about:

-How stand-up experience could help improv, rather than the other way around.

-Chloe’s history in speech and debate impacting her stand-up.

-Addressing her birthmark at the beginning of a set and if it’s starting to get tiresome.

-Getting catcalled.

-Chloe’s bit about the naïve way she countered being called “a freak” as a kid.

-Being a specific brand of nerd in high school.

-Getting a laugh on a joke that isn’t done yet.

-The inauthenticity of manufacturing body language and intonation onstage.

-Dealing with being so recognizable because of a distinguishable facial feature.

-Chloe’s perfect response to trolling comments on TikTok.

-The mean comments that DO get to Chloe.

-Why people are mean on the internet.

-Releasing the tension by saying the thing that is unsaid.

-The phoniness of false confidence.
