KiKi Maroon's video: Clown Interrupted with KiKi Maroon Ep 10 Jef Rouner

I always describe this podcast as me talking to artists and performers “who live and work in party scenes”. This week, I talk to someone with a very different experience. Jef Rouner is an author and a journalist. We’ve known of each other for several years, but I did not know he was sober until he contacted me to write an article about this podcast for the Houston Chronicle. I might be biased, but I think it was the best headline ever written: “Stripping clown explores sobriety, one podcast at a time”. Yup. That’s me! Being an author isn’t typically associated with a party lifestyle, unless you’re Hunter S. Thompson (but that guy partied enough for everyone, ever). However, addiction is still an issue within that community. It is, as Jef called it, a creative isolationist culture. We discuss internet bullying, the science of dopamine, and fake love. I hope you enjoy it! - Listen to the full episodes on Youtube, Apple Podcast, Spotify, and more: Clown, Interrupted Podcast: http://www.clowninterrupted.com/ - Learn more about the host (that's me!) at http://www.KiKiMaroon.com - Your comments mean so much to me! Please let me know what you think. I love hearing from ya'll! - KiKi Maroon is a stand-up comic, podcaster, and international award-winning burlesque clown. Her life on the road as a showgirl has given her a unique voice on stage. Combining stand-up comedy, storytelling, and cabaret, she has been called “a modern day Lucille Ball” (though Lucille never pulled a clown nose out of her panties). KiKi has charmed audiences across the U.S, South America, Europe, and Asia; winning her the titles of 2013 Burlesque Comedy Queen, 2015 People’s Choice at The International Queen Burlesque Festival (Milan, Italy), and an invitation to be a judge at the 2018 Burlesque Hall of Fame (Las Vegas). She is currently based in Texas, where she was named one of Houston’s “Most Colorful Celebrities” by The Houston Chronicle and included in “The 100 Most Creative People” by The Houston Press. In 2019, she began her residency at The House of Blues Houston and The House of Blues Dallas as the host and star of KiKi Maroon’s Burly Q Lounge, a Vegas style cabaret comedy show. - KiKi Maroon's website: http://www.KiKimaroon.com/ Burly Q Lounge website: http://www.burlyqlounge.com/ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/kikimaroon Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kikimaroon Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/thekikimaroon Clown, Interrupted Podcast: http://www.clowninterrupted.com/ Youtube Channels: https://www.youtube.com/user/xoxoKiKi... - Subscribe to my Patreon to be the first to know about upcoming shows and projects: https://www.patreon.com/kikimaroon Join my mailing list to be the second to know 😜: https://bit.ly/3baQl2n
