Hey nerds. This episode, the one and only Ai Yoshihara graces me with her presence. She and I discuss her origin story as a comedian and her beliefs in a life after this one.
Ai grew up in Japan and moved to the US for school. She has lived in Belton, TX; Reno, NV; Las Vegas, NV; and Los Angeles, CA. She studied hotel management, which was just a means to an end. She moved to LA to pursue her true passion: acting. Her acting career pushed her into improv comedy. She did improv for 10 years before transitioning into standup. She's been doing standup for about 4 years. She hosted a live open mic at Flappers on Fridays in the Before Times.
As far as religion goes, she is truly LA. She describes herself as spiritual but not religious. She dabbles in crystals and believes in reincarnation. She clears up some of my fuzzy understanding of reincarnation. I return the favor by clearing up some of her concerns regarding polygamy.
Follow her on Instagram at @aiyoshihara3. And catch her and me at our weekly Zoom mic hosted through Flappers. DM either one of us for the details or get on the Flappers email list by going to their website. The mic is every Saturday at 8:30 PM Pacific. It's the best mic they have.
