La Libertad: Where are you from?
Angie: We are mostly based in Chicago.
La Libertad: How did you get your start in comedy?
Angie: I was a Theater major at Columbia College in Chicago has such a strong influence from Second City at Columbia that as I was graduating I was advised by the amazing Martin DeMaat that Second City was a good option for me after I graduated. So that is how my undying love for comedy started. And today I teach Stand Up, Storytelling, and Sketch Comedy Writing at The Second City today.
La Libertad: What accomplishment are you the most proud of?
Angie: Losing on Nailed It on Netflix's first episode of the first Holiday season show.
La Libertad: Where did you get the idea for your new show "Wisecrackin"?
Angie: I was playing Quiplash via virtual Easter this past year with my family over Zoom. I found out that you can customize the game with your own content. So I thought...lets do a show. We write a new show every week.
La Libertad: When and where can watch "Wicecrackin"?
Angie: Best place to watch is:
on our site; you can watch, vote, and chat live, all in one spot.
You can also watch us on Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, and YouTube.
La Libertad: What inspires you?
Really well constructed jokes. Surprises that grab you in the deep part of you belly and makes you laugh so hard you can't breath.
La Libertad: What is the hardest part of being a comedian during Covid?
Angie: No work. Also Zoom comedy shows are pretty awful. They are not shifting to this medium for this time. So options for well constructed show to get on are limited. Even Hollywood hasn't figured out how to make entertainment for this moment.
La Libertad: What are your overall career goals?
Angie: Have my own show that I host.
