Today we’d like to introduce you to Amy Tee.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Amy. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I started comedy 15 years ago. In the last 8 years, I have taken a more personal approach to the stage. I was diagnosed with bipolar eight years ago and have developed a passion to educate through humor. At the same time, I entered a lifestyle of sobriety.
Today, not only am I a comic but I also speak at local colleges and businesses sharing my personal story of recovery. On stage, I talk about everyday life from my marriage to my recovery. I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine.
Has it been a smooth road?
It’s been anything but smooth. I destroyed a lot of personal and professional relationships with alcohol. I’ve had to start from scratch once I stopped drinking. I’ve had to prove I was no longer the person they remembered. I’ve had to manage my anxieties and overcome a lot of fear.
Another struggle has been being a lesbian comic in a primarily straight male industry. There has been a lot of discrimination that I would not have expected.
So let’s switch gears a bit and go into the Amy Tee- experiMENTAL Comedy Therapy story. Tell us more about the business.
I am most proud of talking about topics that people shy away from. I am bringing awareness and education while keeping it light and fun. I give back to the community.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I hope to continue to grow and connect with as many people as possible.
