Rosalee Mayeux Found Her Punchline After Surviving Everything-Encore Episode

Before comedy, Rosalee Mayeux walked the runways of New York and Paris as a high-fashion model. Then came cancer, single motherhood, and a total reinvention — this time, with a microphone in hand. On this encore episode of Comedy Saved Me, host Lynn Hoffman talks with Rosalee about turning survival into material, raising two boys in LA with equal parts chaos and humor, and building her debut comedy special, Model Mom, out of the wreckage and wonder of real life.

Rosalee opens up about using comedy to process illness, self-acceptance, and the messiness of motherhood — and why laughing at the hard stuff doesn’t minimize it, it makes it survivable. It’s a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and the community that comedy builds around us when we need it most.
