We had the good fortune of connecting with Carmen Martika and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Carmen, how do you think about risk?
If you don’t take a risk you will never know in life. My first time performing I found the comedy club on Instagram and I just went. My heart was beating so fast I was terrified but the rush afterwards is what I like. I felt whole I never had that feeling before but I put myself out there and took the risk.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Life lessons are the best stories. We are hear for a good time not a long time. We all just need a laugh because behind close doors we have problems. I talk about my problems from my kids not listening to my belly hanging low. You will get that plus more.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
First let take a couple casamigos shots at the house. Then, we will go to Kamp for fun, but in the ride we have to listen to Summwer walker and then Ihop to end the night

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My husband, my two daughters, and brothers and sisters. They came to shows and supported me all the way. My husband is my skinny bodyguard and my daughters understand that I’m out all night and work all day to make life better for us.
