Lizzy Hoo only started doing stand-up in 2017, originally as a way to gain more self-confidence. Safe to say it worked out pretty well! Growing up with two older brothers in a household where comebacks had a shelf life, Lizzy's family dynamic adds a unique twist to her comedic perspective. Her dad, an eccentric owner of two muffler shops, brings a touch of absurdity to the narrative, complete with audits, scare tactics, and a reception area filled with exhaust fumes. Lizzy's childhood paints a picture of a studious kid who excelled in sports but found refuge in the world of comedy. As Lizzy ventured into the world of stand-up, her journey through open mics and comedy festivals unfolded, ultimately leading to her Amazon Prime special. Along the way, she navigated relationship challenges, job changes, and the ever-present imposter syndrome. Join us as Lizzy reflects on her evolution as a comedian, from her first awkward performance to embracing the writing process and facing the stage with newfound confidence.
