Can You Start Stand-Up in Your 40s? Tara Brown Did—And It Changed Everything

In this episode of My Crunchy Zen Era, we sit down with comedian Tara Brown, who first tried standup comedy at 45 and ended up leaving her corporate PR job to become a stand-up comic. Her story is about starting late, staying true to yourself, and finding real success through connection, not clout.

We talk about:
1. Taking a big creative leap later in life
2. Building a comedy career without going blue
3. The power of mentorship & community in stand-up
4. Redefining success as impact, not fame
5. How a corporate background can fuel creative work

Tara shares her fall-off-the-stage moment (literally), the accidental Kill Tony set that changed how she writes, and the fan encounter that redefined her “why.”

If you’ve ever wondered if it’s too late to try something new—or if you can do it without burning out or selling out—this one’s for you.
