On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,” Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features Atlanta-based comedian Arma Benoit.
“I work in the film and television industry, and I write a lot of scripts, and in 2019, I found myself writing something, and I thought, ‘Hey, this isn’t really a film; this is more me talking on stage, and there’s some jokes in here,’” Benoit recalls.
A friend connected Benoit with Atlanta comedian Lace Larrabee, who runs a school that teaches standup comedy and joke-writing structure.
She took the class, and Larrabee told her that she was a great and funny joke writer who needed to be performing her work. And in Benoit’s words, “I kind of haven’t looked back since!”
