Comedy from Humans Rearing other Humans
~ because if you don’t laugh, you’ll die screaming ~
Some comedians are unwise enough to breed – and on this night, they will mine the fallout of that decision on stage. None of the children of the performers are likely to be present, which is a good thing, because they’re probably gonna say really mean things about them.
Hosted by Ophira Eisenberg (NPR’s Ask Me Another) & Emily Flake (New Yorker)
SH!T SHOW features Kate Tellers (The Moth Radio Hour)
Nick Stevens (host of CBS Sports Network’s Tailgate Fan)
