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 Alyx Libby.

Libby got into comedy when an acquaintance brought her to a local open mic. She didn’t know about open mics or how comedy worked, but after going to a couple of open mics, she decided she had to try it, and then decided she had to get good at it.  

Libby finds the competition in comedy to be a challenge, as well as women not being taken as seriously.
