Fringe, Upcoming Shows and Happiness

Charlene Kaye is a musician and comedian based in New York who has toured the world, opening for bands like the Arctic Monkeys and Metallica. You may have seen her "Every Taylor Swift Song" skit which now sits at out 100 million views - or in her two cover bands, Guns N’ Hoses (all-girl GNR) and Labiahead (all girl Radiohead).

She's now back with her new show Diversity Shredder, including dates at London's Underbelly. In this episode we discuss:

• why Tenacious D and Flight of the Conchords works so well
• is the feeling of being a rockstar and a comedian the same thing?
• does being successful in one creative field help starting in stand-up
• building her first stand-up show from a notebook about her mum
• performing to incompatible fan bases
• hacking algorithms through retention loops and hook writing
• how a Taylor Swift parody changed everything
• and we find out if Charlene is happy...
