About the co-hosts:

Stephanie Lazenby, Creator/Director of Couch to Mic (she/her):

Stephanie S. Lazenby is a writer, performer and educator. She brings over twenty five years of experience to all of her creative endeavors. She is a juried Artist in Residence through the New Hampshire State Council of the Arts. In addition to hosting Couch to Mic, most recently, Stephanie premiered her solo original stage show Where Do I Begin? At New Hampshire Theatre Project.

Rachel Neubauer (they/she):
Rachel is a Sound, Lighting, and Video Designer, Technical Director, and Production Manager with over 200 theatrical credits. Rachel began as a musician (started at age 4, peaked in their high school West Side Story pit orchestra where they first discovered the joy of flailing wildly while seated) and now has a desk job and moonlights as an amature comedian, proving that comedy is just theatre with more hecklers, but hopefully this go around with an equal amount of queer representation.

They hold two fancy degrees from Berklee College of Music, which they use primarily to argue about microphone placement and dismantle the gender binary - often simultaneously. Rachel lives in Dover, NH, in a carefully balanced ecosystem of three humans, three dogs, and a relentless quest for a fourth dog to achieve true chaos.
