Claire is just funny. She will greet you with a warm smile that reaches her eyes. 

Yet she can sit in the silence; craves it. This was something I understood completely. 

I thought this chat was going to be about comedy (and it is in part), and creative process (it is in part) but something that really stopped me was the relationship of social media. The understanding of the role it plays in promotion of not just the comedian and show but the para social relationship with people BUT more than that; identifying that it's just not good for her. 

So how do you get around it? On one hand you need it, on the other it's not good. Some things are just private. 

Claire is in the middle of the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Peak funny times in Melbourne! 

I am so glad she gave up time to sit with me and share with you, but also to share so vulnerable. 

For this I am grateful. I am curious now- I wonder what her garden is like at home?

Enjoy the episode.

Luv Kate

Women of Influence, with Kate Meade. We are on a mission to find the most incredible women. Some we will know, others are going about their daily lives. Everyone has a story. She is a CEO, She is a volunteer, She is a TV host, She is a doctor, an educator, a scientist, a leader. She is just getting on with it. What can we learn from her, what’s her message? Join me to celebrate incredible, inspiring women and shine a great big beacon of light on their stories. Let’s learn from the women that are paving the way for us. I love to learn and my favorite way is through storytelling. I am curious - absolutely fascinated - with people's stories. I can’t wait to get to KNOW the person in front of me and HOW they got to be where they are today. Where did they grow up, what gets them excited, why do they do what they do and, when it gets tough… why do they do what they do? This is the Women of Influence Podcast.
