It's been a gold mine for comedy to explain how one dates during a pandemic, especially coming out of My First Year of sobriety...
What happens when a former teen model and Playboy Playmate trades glamour for giggles? In this episode of 'The Jewcy Podcast', Lauren Jamison, aka Kosher Barbie, sits down with Irina Voronina to find out. Irina, who moved from Russia to the U.S. at 23, has since reinvented herself as a stand-up comedian and actor. The two women dive into the highs and lows of pandemic life, from the challenges of online comedy to the nuances of dating during lockdowns.
Irina shares her disciplined approach to crafting jokes, revealing that it takes her a month of daily work to perfect a five-minute set. Despite the hurdles, both women find solace and strength in their supportive comedy community, where camaraderie often triumphs over competition. They also discuss the role of social media in keeping their creative muscles flexed and their audiences engaged, even when live shows are on hold. Another poignant topic is their experience with vaccines.
Irina talks about the relief she felt after getting her first shot, while Lauren remains cautiously optimistic about vaccination despite her usual aversion to flu shots. Through humor and heartfelt conversation, this episode sheds light on how comedians are navigating these unprecedented times while maintaining their sobriety and mental health. If you're looking for a mix of laughter, real talk, and a peek behind the curtain of the comedy world, this episode is a must-listen.
