#055: Justine Sless - Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway

Justine Sless is a comedian, writer and former creative director
of the Melbourne Jewish Comedy Festival. Justine is completing
her masters by research in creative writing – specifically
regarding gender and comedy. Justine has performed in Australia,
Europe and the UK. She has taught comedy, written about comedy in
short stories, academic journals and online forums in the UK and
Australia.

It's a really interesting podcast, where we talk about Justine,
who is a immigrant and a mother and the journey of becoming a
comedian and what comedy means to her. We also chat about her
research in gender and comedy, loneliness, fear, failure and
humiliation, comedy and homelessness, her Jewish identity and
whether it’s ok to talk about rape on stage.
