“One of the things in comedy is you have to find your voice. Once I found it, I knew that this is the way for me to do it. I just never question it.” – Ian


“There’s a way things register with me that I know it’s not an accident. When he said it, I knew I was going to do it and never quit.” – Ian


“I always get what I want, I just don’t always know what I want. So once I realize that I have to focus more on what I want so I can get it even sooner.” – Ian


Today we welcome stand-up comic Ian Edwards. Ian is a dear friend of Lacy’s from her days at the Laugh Factory, who has gone on to have a very successful career as a comedian, writer, and producer working on shows like Black-ish, Two Broke Girls and The Carmichael Show. In the episode Ian shares the process of discovering his passion for comedy, taking risks within his career, why he’s comfortable never marrying and how he leans into his authenticity when dealing with haters.
