Remembering the First Time I Was Funny (...

LEMONADA MEDIA
About this episode

If my life was a musical comedy, I'd ask Rachel Bloom to write, direct, AND star in it. The actress, singer/songwriter, and comedian tells me about her quest to make musical comedy actually funny (like, literally laugh-out-loud funny), dealing with ADHD, and what it’s like being a female comedian.

Please note, Funny Cuz It’s True contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
