Erin Terry, Eyes Up Here Comedy

Podcast Raleigh

When Erin Terry started doing open mic stand-up comedy just before turning 30, she noticed one thing quickly and clearly: there wasn't enough space for women. So Erin consulted with some other female comics, and decided she was going to carve out her own space. What started in 2015 as one show, and then a once-a-month show, and then more shows, eventually became Eyes Up Here, the comedy enterprise that has given a mic to over 200 women comics, and stages multiple regular shows across the Triangle and in places like Asheville and Wilmington. Eyes Up Here also helps mentor and encourage performers--they hold workshops and classes outside of their performances.
Erin is a blast to talk to not only because she's funny, but because she has a passion for Raleigh as much as she has a passion for comedy. As she says in the interview, "Laughter is not in limited supply. The laughs here counts just as much as they do in New York or LA or Atlanta or Chicago....this is my home."
Special thanks to Papa Murphy's Take N Bake Pizza of Raleigh--who are still open and serving safe, delicious dinners--and Steele Residential, who has graciously donated their ad time during the pandemic to local non-profits, this episode they're supporting Activate Good.
