Comedy Girl Crush Ep. 3: Heather Anne Campbell

Comedy Girl Crush Podcast Episode 3: Heather Anne Campbell

Episode 3 is up! I just adore Heather Anne Campbell, and I'm so honored she came on the podcast.

Heather is a powerhouse of experience. She's learned from nearly every major school of improv/sketch comedy. We're talking Groundlings, UCB, iO... she's been a member of Boom Chicago, Groundlings Sunday Company, and was in Del Close's last group as a director, Spoo.

And that's just improv. Heather has a full and illustrious writing career. She wrote on SNL, on Incredible Crew (coming soon), and she's currently writing for Fox' Friend's Night ADHD.

What sold me on Heather is her involvement in The Midnight Show. I remember the first time I saw her in the show... she blew me away with her talent and commitment. I recently had the opportunity to take a sketch/improv class Heather was teaching as part of the Miles Stroth Workshop. The big takeaway from Heather is to be fearless and to GO FOR IT. Whatever you're doing, just go for it.

So, give the 'cast a listen. I guarantee you'll feel inspired and crush just as hard as I do.

PS- Last week Heather and Miles broke the record for UCB's Cagematch. For 45 weeks, they slayed the other teams competing for improv glory.
