My Deer old friend from the Open Mic days Zara Mizrahi joins me an dry Co-Host Kevin Lyons on the episode to discuss the different types of comedy styles and what is considered "Smart Comedy" and we discuss the age old question; Do you have to be smart to be a comedian? There is also a lot of laughs as well as well as a bit of teasing Zara for being a vegan and eating Tofu Taco's @Agostinozoida @thezaramizrahi @toohighmcfly
