One of my biggest dreams has been to be on RIsk!It’s the storytelling show where people tell true stories they never thought they’d dare to share. I have loved listening to the podcast version of the show, hearing stars like Kumail Nanjiani, Patton Oswalt, Samantha Bee, Sarah Silverman, Marc Maron and more comedy heroes than I can name… and also kidnapping victims, homeless sex workers, people in prison and other amazing people who share the deepest, most emotional moments of their lives to a nonjudgmental, empathetic, caring audience. This show has made me nearly fall off my bike laughing, and sob uncontrollably on the bus.Next Friday, I get to be a part of it! I’ve been cast in RISK! Live in Ferndale, Michigan on August 3rd!I am so thrilled NOT ONLY that my dream has come true that it happened on the week that the Risk! book was launched and is poised to become a NY Times bestseller, the week that they received a glowing writeup in the Wall Street Journal, and shortly after it was excerpted on This American Life. I AM SO EXCITED! -- source link
