Ester Steinberg is a comedian in Los Angeles. She is the star of Oxygen’s hit show Funny Girls. Her dark comedy Smoking Whitefish is currently in development at ABC. She was recently featured in Time Out LA for her hugely popular Kibitz Room Comedy Show and at Montreal’s Just For Laughs Festival. In this episode she discusses her love life, her creative process, crowd work during her standup set, and the time she met the love of her life.

Much like when we interviewed Ian Hunt, this episode will keep you laughing, which I hear is really good for you. More importantly, it’s pretty interesting to hear Ester discuss getting to where she is now, which seems to be a combination of effort, talent, and not caring about the one person she offends over the hundreds she makes smile. I urge you to listen to this one all the way through, because it’s awesome. Oh, and there’s butt stuff.

Keep in mind that when the world sucks, smiles help.

There are three episodes left (including Ester’s) before Kyle and I are on hiatus. Hope you love them, and as always feel free to reach out and say hi.
