EP 69: YOUR CREATIVE LIFE VS. LOVE LIFE

Published: March 23, 2022, 2:24 p.m.

There's a superstition amongst creative people - especially amongst stand-up comedians - that if you're happy and in a successful, fulfilled relationship, that you'll lose your hunger for the art, or worse, the edge to your comedy.\xa0 It comes out of the ancient idea that in order to be an artists, one needs to suffer for their art.\xa0 So I sat down with two single comedians to find out if there's any truth to that old belief.\xa0 Can comedians and creatives actually have successful traditional relationships, or do they just end up self-sabotaging because their passion always comes first?\n\xa0\nAlong the way, we also discuss the bizarre landscape that is being a woman who is always a little in fear of meeting strangers for a date, outsourcing your dating apps to your mom, and the value of a phone number.\xa0 Especially when someone sends you an unsolicited hairy belly button.\n\xa0\nJoin me as I chat all things single and happiness with two funny people who take the time to get real with me and give me the skinny on dating while working in comedy.\n\xa0\nWant more of Abby & Paul?\nAbby's upcoming shows\nPaul's upcoming shows
