"Life Is Funny Until It's Not: A Comic's Story of Love, Loss and Lunacy" as written by Chonda Pierce

On this episode of the podcast, host Amanda Head talks with Emmy-nominated actress, best-selling comedian and author Chonda Pierce. Pierce has spent over three decades making audiences laugh with her signature clean humor. In this interview she also lays out intimate details of her life which can be read about in her newest book titled, “Life Is Funny Until It’s Not: A Comic’s Story of Love, Loss, and Lunacy.”

Pierce opened up about the influences that shaped her career, including her admiration for the legendary Minnie Pearl. She shares the deeply personal experiences of losing her sisters, as well as her beloved husband, which goes on to show just how much tragedies have impacted her life at home and on stage while performing.

Pierce goes on to discusses the challenges of staying true to a clean act in today’s entertainment industry with humor that uplifts rather than offends. She talks about how ‘the woke stuff is killing comedy’ and why many entertainers refuse to speak out about this ongoing nonsense.
