Shownotes

When Soo Ra first stepped on stage in college, she wasn't trying to become a comedian…she was just the girl who loved to make people laugh. But twelve years later, she's built a comedy career that spans from basement bars to touring with Nate Jackson on his Big Dog Tour and creating viral content that gets millions of views.

Soo Ra has learned that success in comedy isn't just about getting laughs…it's about building your own audience and staying authentic. From her adoption story to her OCD, she's discovered that the things that make you feel different are the very things that connect with others.
