In this episode of the podcast, Nicki sits down with Lisa Marie Riley (@onefunnylisamarie)—a former court stenographer from Brooklyn turned OG mom humor content creator when she found an audience in 2019 and has reinvented herself again as a successful touring comedian. Lisa Marie opens up about her journey from the courthouse to the comedy club, sharing candid, Brooklyn-style insights on everything from the ins and outs of stand-up (“If you don’t have thick skin, don’t even think of coming on here”) to why social media can feel like “the devil’s playground.” As someone who grew up in Brooklyn and now lives on Staten Island, she delves into how her New York upbringing shaped her sense of humor, her work ethic (“If you’re gonna pay me, I’m gonna play. I’m from Brooklyn. I become the job”), and how she leverages that grit on stage.
