Busting Cherries and Dropping Pounds: Ree Ledbetter Gets Real About GLP-1s and Comedy
Wed May 21 2025
On this week’s episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow comedian Ree Ledbetter to talk about two things that have nothing in common—except that they both involve getting a fresh start: losing 75 pounds on GLP-1 medication (Ozempic), and trying to connect with “your people” in comedy.
Ree breaks down what it’s actually like to be on the shot—how it works, how her relationship with food has changed, and what it feels like to drop weight without the usual drama. She’s not here to cry about it or sell you on a miracle cure. It’s just a real conversation about a tool that’s working for her, and what it’s like to navigate life in a new body—minus the Instagram influencer energy.
We also talk about what it means to be busting our cherries again—leveling up, and trying to find people who get it. Because let’s be honest: comedy can be brutal when you’re trying to find your tribe. And it’s not always easy figuring out where you belong when the scene feels cliquey, chaotic, or just...weird.
This episode is equal parts honest, hilarious, and straight-up refreshing. Whether you're curious about GLP-1s or just here for the comedy real talk, you’re going to love this one.
