Show Notes


Do you know what you wanted to do at 16? In Liz Miele's case, the answer was "yes" – which is why she started hitting comedy clubs in New York City.

And 16 turned out to be quite the sweet age to start given where she is today.

Profiled in  The New Yorker Magazine at 18 and appearing on Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham at age 22, Miele has been featured on/in numerous shows and viral videos, including: Comedy Central’s “This Week at the Comedy Cellar,” NPR’s Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me, Hulu’s Coming To The Stage and AXS TV’s Gotham Comedy Live. In addition to her comedy, Liz is a mental health advocate and runner, leading to her being profiled in Psychology Today and the March 2015 issue of Runner’s World, respectively.

Regularly touring internationally (pre-pandemic, anyway), Miele has three albums out on Spotify and iTunes and released her first special Self Help Me in May 2020 free on YouTube. This is in addition to writing and producing season one of her animated web series “Damaged,” voiced by great comics including, Maz Jobrani, Hari Kondabolu, Ted Alexandro and Jermaine Fowler among others; she also co-produced and co-starred in 40 episodes of a web series called Apt C3 with fellow comic, Carmen Lynch and fashion photographer, Chris Vongsawat.

On this episode, Liz talks with Tabari about how she got started in comedy, how she was able to become good friends with a legendary comedian you've probably heard of, running ... And her inspiration for her upcoming book with a title with a VERY memorable name.
