What happens when a mother of five decides she needs to rediscover the person she was before motherhood?For Episode 13 of The Neveready Podcast, Christian sits down with Anitra Cottrell—mother, improviser, comedian, social media coordinator, photographer, filmmaker, and former U.S. Senate elevator operator.Anitra's journey to Southern Utah is anything but ordinary.Born and raised in South Carolina, Anitra moved to Virginia after high school and eventually found herself working around the U.S. Senate—including one particularly memorable encounter involving an elevator, a treadmill, American Idol, and then-Senator Joe Biden rushing to make an important vote.But her story doesn't stop there.After becoming a mother of five, Anitra found herself feeling like she'd lost part of her own identity. Getting involved with So U Comedy gave her an opportunity to step outside the role of "mom" and rediscover something that belonged entirely to her: creativity.From improv to stand-up comedy, social media, photography, filmmaking, and even appearing as a mime opposite Austin McDonald in Casa de Tita, Anitra has continued finding new ways to create.In this episode we talk about:🎭 Finding ImprovHow Anitra discovered So U ComedyHer first improv performance in MesquiteWhy improv became more than just comedyHow becoming a mother influenced her decision to perform😂 Stand-Up ComedyWhy Anitra decided to try stand-upHow different stand-up is from improvHer first open mic experiencesThe painful reality of bombing after having a great first performanceWhy she decided to step back and write new materialWorking alongside comedians including Rhett Sullivan📱 Social Media & CreativityHow a restaurant-review Instagram account unexpectedly led to a careerHer work creating social media content for Stephen Wade.Why creative people are essential to businesses—even when the people selling the product don't always understand the creative process.🎬 FilmmakingHer role as a mime in Casa de TitaWorking with Austin McDonaldHer own short film The DocumThe challenges of making a short film fit within a strict runtime🏜️ Southern Utah & CommunityWhy Anitra originally never wanted to live in UtahWhat brought her to St. GeorgeHer concerns about land use and growthThe Northern CorridorResponsible community growthWhether she might someday run for City Council🎤 The Southern Utah Comedy SceneElectric ComedyLocal stand-upHer upcoming showcase at Short Creek SpiritsHer love of Mitch HedbergThe importance of creating opportunities for local comediansAnd, of course, we get a little Neveready along the way.Because sometimes the road from Senate elevators to stand-up comedy is shorter than you think.🎧 Listen / Follow / Local Comedy Resources🎭 So U Comedy TheaterAnitra is a member of So U Comedy, a nonprofit improv organization based in St. George dedicated to fostering comedy in Southern Utah.
