074: Getting Fired Is Funny | A Conversation with JJ Barrows

On this episode of Making Elephants Fly, Terry sits down with JJ Barrows. JJ is an artist, writer and stand-up comedian who spends much of her comedic energy devoted to making comedic YouTube videos about her life's foibles. She's performed in comedy clubs, conferences, churches and awkward dinner parties all over America. Her refreshing story-telling style relates to anyone who’s experienced the awkwardness of being a human, getting older while remaining young and most recently the mystery that is marriage after 35 years of single-hood. She most recently published her first book “it’s called a spade,” and filmed her first Dry Bar Comedy Special, proving to be relatable from coast to coast. When she's not doing stand-up, you may find her performing live art, traveling with her husband, or spending time at home on the beaches of California, surfing, biking or crying at a sunset. 

Join JJ and Terry as they talk about how getting fired from her dream job sent her on a collision course with her true calling. Find out more at http://terryweaver.com and join Terry at the Thing at http://thething.live and use the code PODCAST for a discount.
