On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,” Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features comedian Ally Edge.
“I’ve been told throughout my life that I should do standup because I’m witty in a conversation,” Edge says.
“But I would always respond with, ‘I’m not that kind of funny,’” she added.
But about five years ago, when Edge was having a “crisis of life,” not feeling like she had any creative performative outlet, a friend told her about a stand-up comedy class for women only given by Atlanta comedian Lace Larrabee. Edge immediately signed up for the class, although money was tight.
“The class really changed my life and set my path in comedy.”
