The Days Are Long, The Years Are Short

Anne Stesney: The years are short, but the days were long. Right, like that saying.

Andrea Marie: That saying, I know.

Anne Stesney: It’d be like, you’d get up, you’d have breakfast, you, play a little bit. You’d go to the playground, you come home and it’s like 10 o’clock and you’re like, what?

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: How is it possible?

Andrea Marie: I know, I remember that too. When I was looking at my watch, I’m like, oh, it’s probably almost lunch. And I look, like 9:30. Are you kidding me?

We are Moms Unhinged, a nationally touring standup comedy show. Join us in our podcast as we explore everything from motherhood, midlife, crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating, menopause, and other things that irritate us.

Hello everyone and welcome to Moms Unhinged, the podcast. I am your host, Andrea Marie, and I am joined here by the amazing Anne Stesney. We have just been getting to know each other. It’s the first time chatting, but I’m super excited because she was just in a festival down in Atlanta where the other Moms Unhinged comedians were like, you gotta know her.

So we’re having her on the podcast. So welcome Anne.

Anne Stesney: It’s really good to be here.

Andrea Marie: Yes. Super fun, super fun. And you are based in New York, New York, Brooklyn, so very cool. And, tell us a little bit about your comedy journey. Like how did you get started? What prompted you to start comedy? All that fun stuff. I love kind of digging into how it happened, the origin story.

Growing Up Around Comedy

Anne Stesney: Well, I have always, always been incredibly passionate about comedy. I come from an incredibly funny family. Like one of my, like earliest memories is like standing with my dad and my uncles and they would just crack each other up telling jokes. And it was just, I just remember it brought me so much joy.

But I didn’t think I could be a comedian when I was younger because I laughed at my own jokes that.

Andrea Marie: You know, if no one else does, at least there’ll be an audience of one.

Anne Stesney: I dunno why I got that in my head. I’m like, well I just love my own material so much. I can’t, you know. I like, I can’t do it ’cause comics don’t laugh at their own material. But I grew up, you know, like watching Carol, the Carol Burnett show reruns and just loving her. And then eventually I moved to New York.

Improv, Advertising, and Putting Comedy on Hold

Anne Stesney: I was in advertising. It was kind of a sideways, I thought I got into creative, being a creative in advertising ’cause I thought I could be funny. But you usually can’t with most of.

Andrea Marie: You usually, you can’t make fun of the products.

Anne Stesney: You can’t really, not like And the few assignments that were funny would always go to, well, to the men usually. So

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: it leads to my day. Yeah, yeah. Because not funny. So, I started, I had this boyfriend who encouraged me to take Improv classes. So I took improv classes kind of in the early two thousands, and then I stopped when I had a kid.

And because improv is very much, you have like 10 people you have to get together and late at night.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Anne Stesney: And so it was just, it was just harder to do.

Andrea Marie: It’s hard.

Anne Stesney: So I left that, but I kind of felt like something was missing ’cause I wasn’t doing comedy anymore. And my husband said to me, and this is years later, so I just kind of like, you know, cobbled along and then.

In like 20, I think it was 20, it was 2019. That was 2019. My house was like, you should take a standup class. You should try that. And I’m like, huh. That always seemed really scary to me. But let me just take a class in the class. I can handle a class. You know, I got the bug. I immediately got the bug.

And I started doing open mics, but then I got really discouraged quickly ’cause you know, you, like somebody said it’s you’re always, I think anyone who wants to do standup is funny. You’re funny, like you’re definitely funny, but it takes a long time to get good at comedy. Right so.

Andrea Marie: Some of the standup crowds just aren’t. Where I was at when I was doing it, I was like, gosh, I think I suck. You know? But it was, I mean, or the open mic crowds.

Anne Stesney: Yeah. Well, the open mic crowds.

Andrea Marie: I mean, is what I mean, the open mics.

Anne Stesney: Yeah, I was usually one of the only women. I was definitely the one of the only people over Right. 40. So yeah, it was very discouraging. No one was friendly. It really hard. And so, I kind of quit like I kind quit by the end of 2019 and then the pandemic happened and I’m like, I’m really done. I’m not doing comedy. That was fun. I tried it, whatever.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Check, check.

The Zoom Mic That Pulled Her Back

Anne Stesney: Check. And then, like 2021 things started opening up. And my friend, a friend of mine I had met at Open, one of the few people who was friendly to me. Another mom comic, by the way. Lana Siebel, very funny. She said, she reached out to me and she goes, I have this Zoom open mic.

I could use some support. Will you come and come to it? And I was like, I don’t know. My husband’s like, oh, I think you should get, you’re a comedy person. Get back com, like just go to her mic or Zoom mic. And I went and it was really fun and I started going and there was this comedian there named Carol Montgomery, I don’t know if you know. Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Oh. Yeah, of course I’ve met her. Yes.

Anne Stesney: So she was at the mic and she dmd me at the, in the Zoom mic and she goes, you’re really funny. I have a residency at the Crane Theater. I wanna get you on there when things open up. And that was all I needed.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. That’s so great.

Anne Stesney: I was like, I’m doing it. And so I started having that goal really helped me because, I started going to open nights and not caring about what people thought.

I just need to get this material down. I see. And then I realized like the more I went to mics and the more I tried, I got a little funnier. And that’s when people start talking to you.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, and also I remember there was one comedian who, I’ll never forget what she said. She had been in the scene for a while, and she’s like. I don’t really even wanna know your name until you keep coming for at least six months. You know? And that is, I can see how that can be.

‘Cause people come, they go, you people wanna know you’re committed, you’re working at this, you’re serious. You know?

Anne Stesney: I agree. I think that was part of it too. And so I started knowing people and that was when I kind of locked in. I’m like, this is what I’m gonna get better at this. I’m going to keep doing this. And you know, I was at that point I was like, kind of like committed. And that’s when I started like, like almost a rite of passage from New York comics to do the industry room at Broadway Comedy Club, which is a bringer show, but it’s actually, you know, out of all the bringer shows in New York City and there’s a ton of them.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: This is actually a really good one in that you definitely get some in front of a real audience, which people aren’t giving you if you’re a year in or two, you know what I mean?

Being the Only Woman Over 40 at Open Mics

Anne Stesney: So I did that show and I got spots and, Rich Brooks, the booker, he actually really liked my material. The nice thing about starting when I started at 52 was that I am really different from a lot of comics at my level, because most at my level are just, you know, are young twenties and thirties. So I really kind of stuck out and,

Andrea Marie: yeah,

Anne Stesney: and then I just, now I’m here.

You know, I just keep going, to the festivals.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. That’s so great. I love that. I love that you went to the festival, the umthe End. It was West End Comedy. Yeah. West End Comedy Festival with Holly and yeah. So great. And you also now have a regular show that you do. you run. The ADHD it? Yeah.

Anne Stesney: With one of my best friends in comedy is a 28-year-old Indian man, Sepehrnia. It’s only in comedy can a middle aged white woman be like, best friends with a 29-year-old Indian man. So yeah. So him and then David Weiss Glass are other friends. Also incredibly funny.

And, the three of us met hosting open mics together, for an organization called Buddha. And then we decided to do our own open mic and our own show. And we had kind of a regular thing at the Bushwick Comedy Club where with all the young, where all the young kids are, boy.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Bushwick. Yeah, yeah. That’s so great. I love that. Well, congratulations on that. And I’m going to, I’m gonna share, even though I don’t know what it is exactly, but you’ve got a TV appearance coming up, which is so fun.

fun

Anne Stesney: yeah, I have the, I can’t tell, but, but it is a daytime TV appearance and it’s going to air in May. Yeah, stay tuned. I think they told us like in April they’re gonna send us the materials and we can start promoting it on our, so soon.

Self-Acceptance and Going Gray

Andrea Marie: Yeah. That’s great. And, before we hopped on here, we were talking about the role of self-acceptance that you have now began to really embrace, which I love. And we were talking about some of your content and you’re, you got some. Great content around that too, but tell us more about how that has come to be. Like what kind of was the trigger or the catalyst for that really actually?

Anne Stesney: Well, okay, so one thing, I have aggressively gray hair and I’ve had aggressively gray hair since I was in my thirties and been dying my hair since I’ve been in my thirties. And I was getting really tired of it because, especially. I would pay, you know, whatever, two, $300 to get colored and then the roots would come like a week later.

And so my son said, why don’t? And I was like, I dunno if I wanna do gray. And he was like, why don’t you do it when I graduate from high school? So I’m like, okay. So he graduated high school last year in 2025 and I started letting the gray grow out and I’m getting so many compliments on it, and it’s like.

I feel like it’s me. I feel like it’s so me. I feel like, I don’t know, I just feel more relaxed about myself. And so I just started writing material just about that kind of physical self acceptance that it’s really hard when you’re, you know, when you’re getting older and you know, 40, 50 and like things start like changing and shifting and I don’t know why.

I never thought it would happen to me. I don’t know about you.

Andrea Marie: I know, I know. I always thought, oh, that’s, yeah, they’re getting wrinkles, but not, I won’t.

Anne Stesney: And so that’s kind of been, been my material. You know, I’ve been working on that, I had a joke that, you know, I let my hair go gray because I’m a woman, I’m middle age, and I thought, what can I do to make my status in society even lower, you know, so. But because of that, yeah, it’s just opened up this kind of like subject matter of like being happy I’m not hot anymore and like, like, oh, but people, you know, so invisible. And I’m like, that’s the best part.

Andrea Marie: No one notices at all what I do.

Anne Stesney: Like so. So I think it’s, there’s such a freedom in accepting, mainly it’s the physical part of myself and Right. I never got, was the girl who got by in her looks like, yeah. I was like, you know.

Andrea Marie: I know. I feel the same way. I’m like, I had to work for it. I feel glad that I’m not having to worry about losing my looks since I never felt like I really had ’em.

Anne Stesney: Yeah, exactly. Exactly.

Andrea Marie: I’m like, you know, were they ever really mine? I don’t know.

Anne Stesney: I never really, then it never really opened that many doors for me. But it’s still, even that, it was still hard to kind of face that. But then once, once I’ve kind of accepted this is it, and this is what I look like. And I think that there’s just a beauty in that inherently when you accept who you are and where you and don’t fight so much, I kind of confidence that I didn’t have before.

Andrea Marie: Right, right. It definitely comes across as someone who, you know, I even feel like sometimes it’s like a don’t fuck with me ’cause I don’t care.

Anne Stesney: Exactly. Like you can’t, and I realize that when I talk to my younger comedian friends and hey express their insecurities or this person or that person, I’m like, I don’t even think about those people or what they think about me because one, they’re not. And number two, what’s the point?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. And it does, I mean, I do have to say I try and be, I try and embrace that as much as possible, but it still leaks through, like I’m sitting here looking at my neck right now.

You know what I mean?

The light on me right now.

Anne Stesney: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah. We got, there was someone who had a, I found online, a negative review of our ago. And I was like, you know, but it’s hard to have that self-acceptance even with all these things coming at us. And we live in such a culture too, of youth and, you know, just really embracing everything that’s young and looks young and hot and everything.

Anne Stesney: It’s so true. And even though I do feel that like, just recently, you know, middle aged female comics are like killing it. Like Leanne Morgan is killing it, you know? And even with those examples, although Leanne Morgan keeps getting hotter, which is annoying, please cut it out. But yeah, it’s hard not to fall into that, you know.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, it is, it is. And I do think that, you know, as you get more success, then you get a crew, and I feel like as soon as I get a crew.

Anne Stesney: My daytime TV appearance, I had a friend who we did, we both did together and we had the hair and makeup done and the next day we were like, where’s our hair and makeup people?

Andrea Marie: I know.

Anne Stesney: I just got my.

Andrea Marie: Excuse me. I’m ready now.

Anne Stesney: Beautiful, like coist hair, perfect makeup.

When You Completely Lose It

Andrea Marie: That’s hilarious. So definitely. There’s just so many things and it’s always such a learning lesson with just self continual self-acceptance as we, so that’s great. Why don’t you, one of the things I’d love to ask people coming on is just for an unhinged, so you have one?

Anne Stesney: 18-year-old boy.

Andrea Marie: child.

Anne Stesney: Mm-hmm.

Andrea Marie: 18-year-old. So he’s graduated. Is Yeah. He’s head of the he in college?

college now?

Anne Stesney: Mm-hmm.

Andrea Marie: Okay, okay. So he is out of the house official empty nester. That’s amazing. I’d love to hear an unhinged moment from, you know, being a mom. It just always makes us all feel better about.

Anne Stesney: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Our things that go wrong, you know?

Anne Stesney: A super unhinged moment, so he was like 12 years old. My husband was out of town for the weekend. And I’m the fun parent. My husband.

Andrea Marie: Uhhuh.

Anne Stesney: My husband like, worked from home and was more of a stay at home dad and I went into the office, so I was like, oh, and my husband, you know, and so he’s outta town.

We’re having such a great time. Like we’re having Shake Shack for dinner. We’re like watching it in front of the tv. We’re like a cool, so much fun. And then the next day I had to go get my hair done and he had a swimming lesson, not too far from our apartment. And I said, just take your bike and go to your swimming lesson.

And he kind, I’m like, no, you’ve gotta go to your swimming lesson. Go to your swimming lesson. So he went to the swimming lesson and I went to get my hair done. I came back, he was home. He shouldn’t have been home. And he was like, oh, there was a street fair and I couldn’t get my bike. And I’m like I remember I’ve never been that angry at him and that I lost it.

I was like, one thing I asked you. I know so much. So like, like usually if I like lose my temper, he kind of just like, like maybe he’s a little sheepish, but you know, whatever burst into tears and like, oh my God, oh my God.

Parenting Guilt vs. What Kids Remember

Anne Stesney: I like reign it back. And I like, I sorry. I never, ever, like, I still remember that and I still feel so bad about it and he doesn’t remember it.

Andrea Marie: Oh, he doesn’t, oh my.

Anne Stesney: But, I said, remember that time I was so mad at you? Like you burst into tears? And he was like, oh, hmm.

Andrea Marie: I dunno. Yeah, it’s so funny because that’s so true. I mean, my boy, I lost it one time when my kids. It was just this weird thing. They went down to get some candy at Walgreens, which was like two blocks away, three blocks away, whatever. It wasn’t far. And they, so it ended up that they overspent, they bought too much candy.

‘Cause it was some two for one deal. They spent like a dollar more and they came back and for some reason I lost my mind about it. You know, I was like, you’re. You’re never going to Walgreens for a month and like, you know, and it was like, so then it’s become this whole legend that mom doesn’t like, she just lost her mind when we saved some money on candy.

So it doesn’t like, yeah. But it was more about they were arguing and arguing and arguing about it, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. And it is weird. What causes that to, you know, we’re normal. Sane people normally we can be fun, we can be relaxed, and then something is like, you know, I just causes us to snap.

Anne Stesney: I mean, not going to swim wasn’t not a big deal.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah.

Anne Stesney: You would’ve thought he did, like, did something weird to the cat. Like it.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Or committed some, you know, minor crime or something. Yeah.

Anne Stesney: It was just like nothing.

Raising a Kid in New York City

Andrea Marie: Yeah. That’s so hilarious. That’s so hilarious. So now did you raise him in New York the whole time?

Anne Stesney: Born in Manhattan and right before he was one, we moved over to Brooklyn to a bigger apartment, and this is where he’s been, born and raised, so. Mm-hmm.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Oh, that’s great. That’s great. So what are some of the challenges you’ve had with raising a son in the city, raising a child, it doesn’t matter.

Anne Stesney: The biggest challenge was that, like we had to be with him all the time to play like, like we had to set up play dates or whatever. Now, we, when he was around 11, we were willing to let him be a little more free range and, but no other parents were like, no one let their kids go to the, like, playground by themselves or the park by themselves.

So it was really a challenge too, he was not a sports kid, so he didn’t have sports on the weekends and finding the kids for him to play with.

Andrea Marie: Oh God, that’s funny. I didn’t.

Anne Stesney: Or whatever, was actually a challenge. ‘He wasn’t like a theater kid either. Like, and those seemed to be the only kind of, there was theater kids and there’s sports kids.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Anne Stesney: Actually found like a place called Brooklyn Game Lab. ‘Cause he’s very much into Magic the Gathering, this card game. So not a place him there, but that was the big challenge is that you always kind of have to be with them. You can’t just send them to the backyard or, whatnot.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. And it definitely does depend on his friends too. That’s interesting. I wouldn’t have thought that you’ve got, you know, that challenge around, you know, you can. I remember my mom or my parents didn’t have a curfew for me, but all my friends had curfews. So I was home at 11, 11:30, whatever it was, you know, didn’t matter.

So go to the park by myself, you know?

Anne Stesney: Exactly, exactly.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: That was kind of, that was a challenge. When he got a little older. We’re in a two bedroom apartment. We’re in a nice size apartment, but having three adult size people and Suburban got a little tight.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: He also didn’t have like, he has a bedroom and his friends, they hang out in there, but they don’t have, it would’ve been great to have like the den or the rec room where hang out. We don’t have that.

Andrea Marie: Place where they could go game or something. Yeah, something. Yeah, definitely that, I can see.

Anne Stesney: You’re together a lot.

Life as an Empty Nester

Andrea Marie: Yeah, you each all the time. That’s funny. So how has it been, how have you, dealt with this? Is your first year of empty nesting? Has it been? I love it.

Uh,

Anne Stesney: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Have you turned his room into a den? Not yet.

Anne Stesney: Still his room. Actually. We have a guest staying with us now, but yeah, no, it’s still his room, you know, until he is fully launched.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: We’re kind of loving it. We’re loving the space. We’re loving, I mean, we miss him, but you know.

Andrea Marie: Yes, of course, of course. Yeah. Yeah, that’s good. Does he go to school nearby or is?

Anne Stesney: Right now he’s over, he’s in Arizona.

Andrea Marie: Oh, okay. So a ways, yeah. So that’s ways, but you know, it is nice. You do, you do realize, it’s funny because, you know, when they get older they do kind of, they’re out and about more and you sort of feel like you lose them. You know, you become empty nesters before you think you actually are going to be.

‘Cause they’re just out, they’re just doing stuff, whatever. But it is weird when it is kind of that more official, you know, you don’t have to make a dinner that you know.

Anne Stesney: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: There’s just, yeah.

Anne Stesney: know, it’s kind of, sometimes I’ll still like, or what really gets me is especially the first year, or was like seeing parents on the street with their little kids and being like, oh.

Andrea Marie: Oh yeah. Yeah. Of course, Apple tortures you with like the memories of the picture. Like, you’re like, what?

Right. I know. I’m like, oh God, I’m never gonna be able to go to their thing anymore. You know, or whatever it is.

Anne Stesney: Exactly. I actually walked past his middle school, this weekend and I was just like, oh my God.

Andrea Marie: I know it goes, it really is wild how fast it does go. Like at the time I was like, are you kidding me? I am dying here. But then, you know, when you finally do get to that emptiness point, you’re like, what? Wait a second. What?

Anne Stesney: So funny, like the years are short, but the days were long. Right. Like that saying.

Andrea Marie: That saying, I know.

Anne Stesney: It’d be like, you’d get up, you’d have breakfast, you play a little bit. You’d go to the playground, you come home and it’s like 10 o’clock and you’re like, what?

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Anne Stesney: How is it possible?

Andrea Marie: I know, I remember that too. When I was looking at my watch, I’m like, oh, it’s probably almost lunch. And I look, like 9:30. Are you kidding me?

Anne Stesney: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: I know.

Anne Stesney: Yeah. It’s great. But I wouldn’t change it. I would not change a thing.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yeah.

Anne Stesney: I love being a mom. Sometimes I’m like, oh, we should have had it another, but I like her.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. I know. It’s always, you know, everyone’s journey is different and at the time you make a decision and it’s the best decision at that moment. So, you know, it’s hard. Now did you work while he was young?

Anne Stesney: I was full time. My husband was stay at home with him, and I went to, I worked in advertising and, where, oh, yeah, I did work for an agency when he was first born. And then I went, moved, I was at DDB, a little part of DDB, and then I went to, Gray, at a big agency. And I worked there for a good eight years.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Great. Yeah, that’s right. You mentioned that you were. And then when did you start comedy? What, how old was he when you?

Anne Stesney: I know. he was in puberty because that was one of my first jokes was that I’m in, I’m, I think he was probably 12 like I am, or maybe 11, like I’m going through menopause in my, I have a 12-year-old going through puberty, everybody’s sweaty and no one’s getting laid.

Andrea Marie: That’s a good first joke.

Anne Stesney: house. I still open with it even though he has puberty. but yeah, that was more my first, so he was definitely, I think he was like 11 when I started 11.

Andrea Marie: Uh huh. Yeah. Did he know you were doing or did he?

Anne Stesney: I run all my jokes by him and I’m like.

Andrea Marie: Really? Oh.

Anne Stesney: And any joke, not all my jokes, but any joke about him, I get his approval on like, I’m like, and then there’s only been one joke where he asked me to take it off my Instagram and not do it anymore. And then there was another joke that , he’s like, you can say it, as long as I’m not in it.

I’m like, all right. He’s like, I think it’s a funny joke. So he loves comedy too, and he’s very supportive and, even told me like recently, like, I really respect that what you’ve been doing with comedy and how you’ve stuck with So yeah.

Mm-hmm

Andrea Marie: really

How Families React to Stand-Up Comedy

Anne Stesney: do your kids like your comedy?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, they, so I didn’t let my kids see my comedy for a long time. I started when they were young and, you know, I just was worried that they were gonna think that I didn’t like being a mom, you know? ‘Cause I would say like, my joke is every day with a damn dinner, no one warns you.

And I just didn’t want them to feel like. You know, they had a good sense of humor even when they were young, but I didn’t want them to feel like I was really, you know, actually mad about it. I was just trying to shine a light on how challenging it really is. And so then I finally let them see when they were like 18.

And you know, at that point I knew at that point they had heard some inklings and it was on YouTube, so I don’t really know if they watched it on YouTube, you know? And I also did have some jokes about the divorce, so I didn’t, you know.

Anne Stesney: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Andrea Marie: Feel bad about that, but I mean, my ex-husband knew about my jokes too. He was like, well, you okay, you can say that. I’m like, yeah, ’cause it happened. I’m not saying anything not true here.

Anne Stesney: Hmm.

Andrea Marie: It is a challenging and I think with, having maybe the kids be a little bit more of the subject matter and, you know, and it seems like people do it differently, so that’s good that he was on board with it.

Anne Stesney: Yeah. No, he’s a really, really good sport about it. ‘Cause yeah, I mean, my, my first type five was pretty much all about. Him and being a young teenage boy and the things they do. So yeah. Very good work.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s good. That’s good. Anything exciting that you’re looking forward to? I mean, obviously you’ve got the TV thing coming up. Anything else you’re excited about?

Anne Stesney: I, I am. Well, I’m still like our ADHD show, you know, we’re gonna have another one in May, or no, April. April, where we have to just confirm the date, either the 23rd or 30th. So I’m pretty excited about that. And producing that, we haven’t decided by co-producers. I have to just pick the lineup, which is the most.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Anne Stesney: And, not as fun because you wanna book everyone you love.

Andrea Marie: I know I.

Anne Stesney: So many spots, right?

Andrea Marie: Yeah. I know it is

Anne Stesney: challenging.

Andrea Marie: That is a hard thing.

Anne Stesney: Yeah, those are kind of the two things on the horizon. And then I’m waiting to hear back from some festivals.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Oh, that’s great. I know I find festivals to be really fun ’cause you get to really find some new people and that’s, it’s fun to connect and all get to commiserate about the challenges of doing comedy and especially, you know, and it’s nice to see, I’ve seen more women representation.

Anne Stesney: I’m blessed had a great spectrum of comics, ages, and ethnicities and, you know, it seemed to be a pretty even male female ratio. So Holly did an amazing job.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, she’s, she’s great. So Great, Anne. Well, tell us where we can find you online. We’ll have the links in the show notes, but let us know how people can connect with you, follow you.

Anne Stesney: Um, you can follow me on Instagram at Ace de Comedy and that’s probably the best place to find me. I’m going to be launching a website soon, so probably within the next month, which is also ace de comedy.com. But that’s coming,
