Tasha chats with comedy writer Lynn Harris about her journey and the impact of humor in reshaping the comedy space.

In this episode of Talkin With Tasha, I chat with comedy writer and Gold Comedy founder Lynn Harris about her journey from journalism to stand-up to building a platform that helps women and nonbinary creators succeed in comedy. We talk about the power of humor to spark change, the importance of community in creative work and how Lynn is helping reshape the comedy space. Plus, we get into plenty of pop culture stuff. From The Real World to drag queens, and even her unexpected stint as a Tonya Harding lookalike in the ‘90s.
