Have you heard of this woman? She's a Manhattan-based LDS comedian in her 20s. She's really good.

Oh, content warning: I wouldn't play these around children.

She was on This American Life a month or so ago. She told one of the funniest and most profound stories I've ever heard on the show, and that's up against some stiff competition. Very impressive.

You can stream it from their website. I'll see if I can post a link when I get home.

The one about FAO Schwarz on the page I linked to aired on American Life. But when I tried to listen, the clip ended before the story was over. So last night I googled her name and American Life in order to find it. It was really good.

Yes I enjoyed both of those clips a lot. I'd like to get her book when it comes out. I want to mention one thing in particular that really struck me but I don't want to spoil it for anyone so I'll wait.
