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

Hi Alyx, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I never wanted my life to be boring. I wanted to do something that was different every day, took a lot of hard work (forever) and dedication but also gave me instant gratification. Of course, when I was a kid, I just wanted attention.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Those are a lot of questions in one! I don’t know what sets me apart; I just talk about what I know. I got where I am today mostly because of hard work. I was doing comedy whenever and wherever I could, which led me to the friends and venues I work with today! One of the lessons I learned is not to let the negativity get to you, and instead celebrate the positives.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I love Star Community Bar – well, I’ve only been there on Monday nights but it’s one of my favorite comedy venues in the city! Beforehand I would take them to Sweet Hut, my favorite bubble tea spot, and afterwards why not Clermont Lounge or Dark Horse?

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My best friends who have been my number one fans!
