  • Leanne Linsky on Comedy, Entrepreneurship, and Building Plauzzable | Comedy 101

    Leanne Linsky on Comedy, Entrepreneurship, and Building Plauzzable | Comedy 101
    Oct 25 2026
    How can a comedian’s approach to writing jokes help build a technology business? In this episode of Comedy 101, Daniel Lucas speaks with Leanne Linsky, comedian, entrepreneur, and founder and CEO of Plauzzable, a live online comedy platform connecting performers with fans. Leanne traces her journey from taking her first comedy writing and improv classes in 2001 to moving to New York to pursue comedy. After relocating to California, she found herself spending more time in traffic and less time onstage. That challenge led her to explore online performance, launch an online open mic in 2019, and consider how digital events could help comedians connect with audiences between in-person shows. Leanne explains how Plauzzable grew from the desire to create more opportunities for comedians and fans to meet online. She discusses how building a business resembles writing and testing a joke: share an idea, listen to the response, make changes, and keep improving the experience for the audience or customer. The conversation also explores customer feedback, comedy’s evolving nature, and the difference between revising a joke and revising code. Leanne reflects on why entrepreneurship takes patience, experimentation, and a willingness to treat growth as an ongoing process. Join Comedy 101 for a lively conversation about comedy, innovation, online performance, and turning a creative passion into a platform for others. Learn more about your ad choices.

    The Art of Clean Comedy: Danny Johnson on Stand-Up, Storytelling & Making Audiences Laugh | Comedy 101
    Oct 3 2026
    Comedy 101 welcomes Danny Johnson, a clean comedian, actor, and voice-over artist with nearly two decades of experience making audiences laugh across the United States. Based in Northeast Florida, Danny has built his comedy career around a deliberate choice: keeping his stand-up clean without sacrificing the laughs. In this episode, he shares what it takes to develop comedy that connects with audiences while relying on storytelling, observation, timing, personality, and creativity rather than explicit material. Danny also takes us back to where his love for entertainment began. Growing up as the oldest of five children, he discovered early what it meant to compete for attention—a childhood experience that would eventually become part of his comedic instincts. His fascination with programs such as Saturday Night Live and late-night television further shaped his interest in performance and comedy. The conversation explores the realities of spending nearly 20 years onstage, traveling the country telling jokes, developing a distinctive comedic voice, and understanding what makes an audience respond. Danny also discusses his work as an actor and voice-over artist, revealing how different forms of performance require their own approaches to timing, character, and communication. Join Comedy 101 for an entertaining conversation about clean comedy, finding your voice, commanding an audience, turning life experiences into humor, and building a career around making people laugh. Because great comedy doesn't always need to cross the line—sometimes the real art is knowing exactly where the line is and still getting the laugh. Learn more about your ad choices.
