Funny Is As Funny Does! Smosh Comedy Series

This week, the Mavens talk with Shayne Topp, an actor and comedian from Smosh. Acting since he was 13 and moving to L.A. at 16, Topp spent his teenage and young-adult years fighting tooth and nail for a comedy career. Eventually, he’d landed the audition of a lifetime when he found Smosh. Working at the comedy collective for the past seven years (while finishing his degree in psychology), Topp has found himself doing a little bit of everything for the company. He pitches story ideas, produces and writes content, and acts in many of the skits Smosh releases. While making people laugh is something Topp enjoys, he’s become known on the set of Smosh for making himself laugh. With the Mavens, Topp discusses how he came to where he is today, the different tasks he performs with his varying roles and Smosh, and why comedy matters so much to him as an individual.  To learn more, tune into “Funny Is As Funny Does!”
