A therapist and a stand-up comic talk to stand-up comedians with a connection to San Francisco to find out what it takes to start, what success really means, and the lifestyle that comes with being on stage. What is it really like to be a stand-up comic today? How has social media changed the way comedians and the audience that supports them think about "making it"? Why did you get into stand-up? From these basic questions, we get deep, we get serious, and we also laugh a lot.
