017 - From Acting to the Artist Page with Sallyann Fellowes

Sallyann Fellowes, a comedian, takes us through her hilarious journey from hitting the open mic circuit to landing semi-pro and pro gigs. She spills the beans on her wild encounters with hecklers and those tricky, hard-to-please crowds. Throughout the chat, Sallyann dishes out sage advice on grit, stressing the importance of pushing through the toughest gigs.

And it's not just laughs; she delves into the nitty-gritty of comedy competitions (of which she is an accomplished finalist and winner of many), how they've shaped her career, and the art of networking and self-promotion in the comedy world. In a candid exchange with Marc, they swap stories on the necessity of mixing up venues and keeping sets fresh, even diving into the nerve-wracking world of gong shows.

Wrapping it up, Sallyann and Marc dive into her upcoming solo gig, giving us a peek into her creative process and her side hustle with her co-owned podcast. Plus, they share a chuckle about choosing walk-on music and the perpetual challenge every comedian faces. Sally Ann even drops her social media deets before Marc signs off, leaving us eager for the next episode.
