About this listen

 Lauren Weedman is an Emmy-nominated writer, comedian, and actor known her roles in HBO’s Looking, Hung and Hacks. She is also a renowned solo performer whose work is built on fearless honesty and dark humor. In this episode, Lauren gives Amanda a candid masterclass in solo storytelling, from why audiences hesitate to laugh at trauma, to how musical numbers, silence, and even a well timed cartwheel can unlock tension onstage. Along the way, they trade unforgettable moments about prison mugshots, shame, loneliness, and how a mother can balance the intense energy of a theatrical run with the demands of family life.
