Nick and Leonard interview Karen Morgan, incredible comedian originally from Athens, GA, now living in the great state of Maine. Leonard and Nick talk about the ups and downs of comedy contests.
Afterwards, Karen, known as “Maine’s Funniest Mom”, tells us how she started in comedy like many others; she was encouraged to take a standup comedy workshop.
From a great experience on Nickelodeon’s “Search for the Funniest Mom in America” to a horrible experience on “America’s Got Talent” to an incredible encounter with Steven Wright, Karen has built a great multi-decade comedy career.
Triathlete, attorney, rabid Georgia Bulldogs fan, Karen brings clean smart comedy to people across the country.
She most definitely did not officially give us any legal advice…
