On today's show we talk to writer and performer Sara Benincasa.
While now based in LA, Sara got her start in New York, where she
did everything from host a show on Sirius to make videos for the
Huffington Post. She writes for Jane and Vice.com, and last year,
her book Agorafabulous!, based on her-one woman show about
her struggles with agoraphobia, was published by William
Morrow.
Right before Christmas, we sat down with Sara at The PIT, hours
before her stand-up show, and talked about everything from comedy
in the wake of national tragedies, to income and privilege, to the
time Andy bombed opening for Jonah Ray.
