12 - Comedian Sara Schaefer

Comedian Sara Schaefer is proud of her new book, GRAND: A Memoir, and she should be! It is the kind of delightful and moving tale that makes you feel like you know Sara, even more so if you listen to her read it, as I did. I loved talking to Sara about what it was like to write this book after years of comedy writing, how her own internal critic (nicknamed DOOM) tried to sabotage her along the way, and why the Babadook is a perfect metaphor for loss. If there's one thing I love more than funny people, it's funny people who are real, and that is definitely Sara.
