In this episode of the Open Mic Comedy Podcast, I sit down with comedian Sophie Sconcia about her journey into stand-up, the balance between improv and written material, and the art of reading a room.
Sophie shares stories from her early gigs, insights from comedy courses, and how she’s learned to embrace spontaneity on stage. They explore the evolving language of comedy, the fine line of edgy material, and the importance of community, kindness, and connection in the scene.
Sophie also talks about Cat Soup Comedy, the monthly night she runs that blends pro, semi-pro, and open mic acts—designed to give comics a great crowd and the chance to bring their best material to the stage.
