How Phoebe Robinson found her place in comedy

Season 2018 Episode 58 | 3m 14s

Stand-up comedian Phoebe Robinson almost quit the business when she felt like she didn’t belong in the male-dominated comedy world. But finding her niche with the podcast “2 Dope Queens” helped her realize that being different isn’t a bad thing. Robinson gives her Brief but Spectacular take on being a dope queen.
