S3 Ep5 - Comedy, Therapy and Aunt Angela from New Jersey with Kate Nichols
In this episode, we get to know Kate Nichols, who is our first social worker on Comedicine and we are so happy to have her! Kate is a licensed clinical social worker and stand up comedian. She has performed internationally, including 4 years at the Edinburgh International Fringe Festival and for the US Army as part of the USO, opening for Chris Gethard, in addition to her regular local appearances in the NY and NJ comedy scene. In addition to her stand-up, she's half of comedy duo “Belleville Broads”, perform as animal-print loving, exaggerated versions of everyone’s favorite over-the-top Aunts from New Jersey! Aunt Angela even joins up for a quick hello on this episode! Kate loves blending the worlds of comedy and mental health, as two sources for the human pursuit of making meaning out of our experiences to find greater connection to each other. She has an insightful and positive perspective on her profession, comedy, mental health and life in general. I promise you will feel great after listening to this episode.
