Comedian/Actress/Writer- Hannah Pilkes
Today\u2019s guest is Hannah Pilkes, the comedienne, actress, and writer. Hannah got her start in the Kevin Bacon drama The Woodsman. If you\u2019re familiar with that movie you\u2019ll know it\u2019s about as far from comedy as a movie can get. But acting in the movie was enough to reinforce Hannah\u2019s love for performing, and though it took a while, she did eventually find her own voice and a following on Vine. Thankfully, Hannah\u2019s career has lasted much longer than the platform that launched her. She continues to reach a wide audience today through her stand-up performances, comedy skits on social media, and is even writing and developing a tv show.
Listen in as we cover everything from why she doesn\u2019t consider what she writes to be jokes, how she\u2019s managed to continuously promote her activism alongside her comedy, and why she thinks 80% of standup in the midwest should probably cease to exist.
