About this episode

Jason Farr interviews psychic stand-up comedian Karen Rontowski about her unique blend of comedy and tarot reading.

We talked to psychic stand-up comedian, Karen Rontowski! We had a fascinating chat with Karen Rontowski, the psychic stand-up! Karen has spent decades as a touring comedian, appearing everywhere from The Late Show with David Letterman to Comedy Central, and she's also a professional tarot reader who blends full stand-up sets with live card readings on stage. She talks with Jason about growing up doing comedy bits as a kid, moving to chase stand-up, and how her psychic path and her comedy career grew up side by side. They dig into real stories from her life as a psychic (including one jaw-dropping one), what people misunderstand about psychics, gut instinct and deja vu, coherence and energy, and why she thinks everyone has a little bit of psychic ability in them. It's a wild, funny, mind-bending conversation, and it ends with Karen pulling cards live and walking Jason through the podcast's first tarot reading. karenrontowski.com Instagram: @Rontowski, @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics TikTok: @Rontowski, @JasonFarrToks Threads: @ThereItIsPod, @JasonFarrPics Facebook: @KarenRontowski, @ThereItIsPod Subscribe to our comedy newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/e22defd4dee2/thereitis
