The question everybody asks

Is it true she didn't start stand-up until 42?

Yes — Emily Holden came to stand-up at 42, after decades of improv that included founding Atlanta's Village Theatre. WABE's City Lights feature in 2024 put it plainly: she "became smitten with standup after decades of improv."
