This interview was a long time in the making – four years, to be exact – and that gets explained early in the show. In short, I sent an SOS to the world, and comedian Kristen Toomey received it.


We met in Bensenville (home of Victory Auto Wreckers!) for a fun, smart, sharp conversation covering the art and science of being a working comic today, why she threw her phone out the window a few years back, social media, the time she was arrested as a teen, and why poly people were quite cross with her.

 

I loved meeting and chatting with Kristen, and hope to make it a more regular occurrence on the podcast!

 

Support Kristen by watching her special, “Shriller,” debuting on Apple TV on August 12!
