Deep Night Season 12: Jolie Darrow

Dale unlocks a new level in this conversation with comedian and gamer, Jolie Darrow. Dale can’t believe his good fortune in meeting the only other person who has spent as many hours as he has riding through the digital wilderness of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Jolie shares her passion for customizable digital horses as well as her very personal experiences IRL as a theater artist and comedian. From being hyper-aware of politics at a young age to building a creative outlet on the stage, and to rediscovering the potential of gaming, Jolie has found a way to merge all of her interests. She is one of the creative voices behind the nation’s first gamer Presidential candidate, Ace Watkins, and is helping to define a very specific genre of gaming-based political comedy. Plus Dale offers some thoughts on embracing your passions and shares another tidbit from the Seever family tree.
