Circus + Feel Checking: End of Season 3

To end Season 3 of Misfits Makin’ It we got two fascinating conversations that explore what it means to carve your own path in comedy and life. Both conversations tackle the beautiful messiness of being a "misfit" in different ways – one through the lens of academic curiosity and artistic courage, the other through pure comedic chaos and cultural storytelling.

• Standup + Data Science + Circus w/ Andrea Jones-Rooy: The conversation explores the pressures to specialize, the importance of interdisciplinary thinking, and the realities of navigating comedy and performance as a misfit. Andrea shares insights on self-acceptance, resilience, and finding fulfillment by embracing multiple passions rather than conforming to traditional expectations.

• We Don't Fact Check, We Feel Check w/ Maximilian Spinelli (Just for Laughs): In this Misfit Melodrama mini-episode of Misfits Makin’ It comedian Maximilian Spinelli joins Lauren and Aunt Carmella to riff on audience-submitted stories. They talk lookalikes, Italian-American trauma, fake names, comedians going psycho, and surprise second families, while fact checking absolutely nothing.
