For me, I was like once I figured out like I like it, especially like when I lost weight. And then that carried on into college, which started then like putting that blue shit up my nose, and I was like: well, what else?
Ever wondered how comedians are coping during the pandemic? Lauren Jamison, aka Kosher Barbie, sits down with San Diego's own Alex Peregrina to chat about just that. Both veterans of the service industry, Alex and Lauren dive into how they've been navigating these turbulent times. With live shows on hold, Alex has turned to reading and writing, honing his comedic craft for the day he can hit the stage again. His secret weapon?
A clean and sober lifestyle that's kept him grounded for over two years. Instead of reaching for a drink when things get tough, Alex prefers a good book or a spontaneous road trip to clear his mind. He's even managed to keep his popular 'Industry Comedy Night' alive by taking it outdoors—until the pandemic shut that down too. But don’t worry, he's already plotting its grand comeback.
Lauren and Alex also touch on the importance of mental health and self-awareness, sharing how practices like yoga and breath work have been their go-to coping mechanisms. This episode is a mix of humor, honesty, and inspiration, reminding us all that it's okay to feel down sometimes—those moments often lead to the most growth. Tune in for a candid conversation that’ll leave you both laughing and thinking.
