Speaking on Brushing Up on Your Comedy (Literally)

Interviewer: TRACY MORIN
Featured Guest: AVA FUNG

In this episode, you’ll hear Mentor Tracy Morin, a magazine writer and editor, talk with Mentee Ava Fung, a high schooler from New York City, about her humorous non-fiction piece, “Toothache.” Ava’s piece compares her feeling of being an outcast in her family to their toothbrushes: theirs shiny and electric, hers ratty and utterly normal. Tracy and Ava discuss the importance of writing in community and how Ava has blended her stand-up comedy into her other creative work. Listen in to this fun episode, and it might even make you feel sympathetic for a certain everyday object that most of us never give a second thought: the humble toothbrush.
