In this episode, NYC comedian Jared Apper (IG: @jaredapper)  talks to us about what shaped him the most: the suicide of his best friend and mentor. Check lifeofanya.com for show dates, and come see us in Park Slope (Brooklyn, NY).

In this episode, NYC comedian Jon Moskowitz (IG: @comicjonwithnoh)  talks to us about what shaped him the most while he was growing up... his learning disabilities. TBH, I was running on little sleep and lotta tequila for this interview... so I was barely able to keep up. Jon has always been a fascinating comedian to watch on the stage and truly one of the sweetest people off it. 

This is a live recording of a dark comedy show/talk show/therapy session in which New York City comedians share an event that shaped them. This is dark comedy, and it's also very intimate and vulnerable comedy... so be warned, you will hear people sharing things that may have not only hurt them, but cracked them open. In this episode, Rich Templeton ( @richhunttemp New York City comedian and actor) talks about the death of a baby-sitter when he was young... and how this has contributed to his trust issues and the amount of pressure he puts on himself. Our second guest, Matthew Silver ( @silver.matthew New York City comedian and street performer), talks to us about how he feels chronically unheard and unseen... to a menacing level. This episode, as every episode, is dark and loving.
