Lauren Chays

Today I am interviewing Lauren Chays, a comedian from New York, NY who has been doing comedy for less than a year. To find out more about Lauren, please visit her website.



Why did you start doing stand-up comedy?

A lot of people told me that I am funny. My college advisor told me that I should go into comedy writing (that was a science major advisor). I always made him laugh.

Do you have a favorite topic in your comedy and what makes it your favorite?

I don't think that I have a favorite topic, I like to talk about a lot of things. Usually whatever is happening in my life lately or things that go through my mind.

How do you deal with rejection?

I go to a clock tower with a shotgun (I'm kidding I don't do that). Truthfully it does bother me a little, but it is just part of how things go. Someone told me once that "No does not always mean no, sometimes it just means not right now or not for my company." But you have to keep trying and eventually you will probably get a yes.
