Judith Lucy is known as a performer for her radical, even brutal honesty. Over a celebrated career as one of this country’s finest stand-ups, she’s sardonically laid herself bare in the name of laughs. But as an author she’s equally forthcoming, with her memoirs The Lucy Family Alphabet and Drink, Smoke, Pass Out both bestsellers. Now she’s back with her new book Turns Out, I’m Fine. Judith joins Walkley Award–winning reporter Jan Fran for a heart-wrenching and hilarious discussion about disappointing relationships, giving up on men, the life-changing impact of introspection and what it actually means to be fine.
