Lara Ricote is my special guest this week. Lara is an “equal halves Mexican, American, and Venezuelan” comedian based in the Netherlands. Her show GRL/LATNX/DEF won Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe and is available to watch on Youtube. We chat about how comedy compares around the world, finding our identity on stage, the value of clowning, and accessibility in the performing arts. It's such a great chat and I had the best time hanging out with Lara.
