Lynn Harris: Culture-Shifting Producer, Award-Winning Journalist, Author & Founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy—The Comedy School
Did you know that listening is what makes you the funniest? And that the craft of learning comedy helps with many life skills and that it supports confidence, connection and trust?!
Who knew?!
My guest, Lynn Harris! Lynn is a culture-shifting producer, award-winning journalist, and author/co-author of six books. Her comedy and campaigns for social justice and gender equity have changed laws and conversations from Capitol Hill to NASCAR.
She is founder and CEO of GOLD Comedy—the comedy school, professional network, and content studio where women and non-binary creators grow their comedy careers, build powerful communities, and make funny stuff. (Rachel Dratch is an advisor, and our guests + mentors have included Margaret Cho, Rachel Bloom, Patti Harrison, Paula Pell, Bridget Everett, Judy Gold, Ashley Nicole Black, Murray Hill, and staffers from The Daily Show, SNL, A Black Lady Sketch Show, Broad City, Search Party, Inside Amy Schumer, and more!)
Harris co-created Breakup Girl (acquired by Oxygen), one of the first multiplatform internet success stories, and co-hosted, with Ginna Green, The Forward’s A Bintel Brief: The Podcast. Lynn served as the first VP of communications at global human rights group Breakthrough, where her blend of humor and advocacy powered some of the team’s most effective U.S. campaigns. She has also worked as a Tonya Harding lookalike, which is a long story.
