Expanded x Ep. 85: Comedian Ian Edwards on Being Authentic in a Climate of Sensitivity
“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.”
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. Lacy also walks through the manifestation process of how Ian listened to pings, passed tests, jumped off cliffs and manifested his hour-long comedy special and dream house. This episode is highly expansive for anyone who is struggling to stay authentic in their line of work, relationships or in life.
