Send us a text

Can you imagine switching from a career in IT to comedy? That's exactly what our guest Mecha Swain, owner and CEO of Slapstik comedy in Columbus, Ohio did! In a fascinating and inspiring journey, Mecha takes us from her broadcasting and journalism studies to the establishment of her own media production company, Mecha Media, and the birth of Slapstik Comedy. She gives us an insight into how a class assignment sparked her passion for journalism, and how brainstorming sessions in a book led to the creation of a comedy company.

While comedy brings laughter, it's not all jokes behind the scenes. Delving into the world of comedy, Mecha sheds light on the challenges she encountered while transitioning from IT. She discusses the courageous leap of faith she took to turn her dream into reality and the thrill of having her company featured on the popular show Kill Tony. Mecha also provides a glimpse into her future plans - from producing new podcasts and animations to roasting in comedy, and the thick skin it requires.

But what does it take to succeed in comedy, other than a good sense of humor? In the last part of our conversation, Mecha emphasizes the crucial role of relationships and social media presence in a comedian's career. Her personal experiences underscore the importance of having a supportive partner, and her insights highlight the power of social media and YouTube in amplifying a comedian's reach. We wrap up with a fun-filled rapid-fire segment where Mecha reveals her preferences on living in Australia or Panama, and choosing between Jerry Seinfeld and Kevin Hart. Join us on this laughter-tinged journey to learn more about the comedy world, the path to success, and the significance of relationships and social media in a comedian's life.
