Michelle Cantu is a San Antonio–based comedian and mother who turns real life chaos into sharp, laugh-out-loud comedy. From parenting moments to everyday observations we all recognize, her humor is honest, bold, and unapologetically relatable.

In this episode, Michelle dives into how she finds comedy in the middle of the mess, what makes an audience lean in, and why telling the truth on stage hits harder than playing it safe. It’s a fast-moving, funny conversation about life, laughter, and using comedy to connect with people who feel seen the moment the joke lands.
