#67: "Finding the Funny" - Vanessa Johnston
Tuesday Oct 16, 2018
Tuesday Oct 16, 2018
Comedian Vanessa Johnston and Joe embark on a mission. To find the funny in some unfunny topics; Vanessa talks about growing up with a Mom suffering from schizophrenia who was in and out of state institutions and an emotionally distant dad. At age 7 she was the woman of the house, making dinner for herself and siblings while avoiding visits from Child Services.
The good news? Her childhood experiences helped Vanessa develop a strong work ethic that has led to her thriving in the entertainment industry both behind the scenes and on stage. You can watch her performing all over Los Angeles and listen to her on the upcoming @highsociety podcast.
Vanessa also talks about the time she won the Miss Minnesota competition even though she had no desire to and how that led to appearing on America's Next Top Model, which she also had no desire to do. It's an honest, funny, raw conversation. Also, she has a good relationship with both of parents today. Enjoy!
