On the “City Lights” series “Speaking of Comedy,” Atlanta’s funniest locals share insights on the perks and perils of their profession. This edition features Atlanta-based comedian Gayle Lewis.

Lewis’s interest in finding a new hobby and socializing more is what led her to sign up for a comedy class. After signing up for Lace Larrabee’s “Laugh Lab,” she knew this would be more than a hobby.

“I think that’s why I gravitated towards comedy, like finally an outlet for all of the weird thoughts that pop into my head,” said Lewis.
