Glorified Punk Rock Piss Bucket with Molly Brennan

Actor, clown, and physical theater artist extraordinaire Molly Brennan has performed in plays at the Goodman Theatre, emceed The Fly Honey Show, and toured the world with her legendary 500 Clown troupe (defunct for some time now). She soothes me with a beautiful New Hampshire memory, talk of her atheist upbringing and DIY ethic, and only the righteous kind of bitterness. Content warning: abandonment, COVID-19, trickle-down shittery, accessible performance venues, the Titanic submersible, advocating for others vs. yourself, Tom Petty, band vs. solo artist life.Patreon supporters make This Is Your Afterlife possible and get awesome bonus episodes.
