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 Amber Chandler.

Chandler first started doing comedy in 2018. “I had actually become friends with a local comedian Lace Larrabee. She started an all-female comedy class,” Chandler said.

“I’ve now been doing comedy for six years. I co-produce a festival. I co-produce multiple shows around Atlanta so I’m really thankful that she encouraged me to kind of follow my dream there and just jump right into it.”
