Versions of Reality with Sarah Friedland

Wed, 17 Sep 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Disarmingly Earnest with Ruby Karp

Wed, 09 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0000

By the age of three, comedian Ruby Karp had made her Upright Citizens Brigade debut. By the age of ten, she was performing stand-up across New York City. Now in her mid-twenties, she's settling into her comedic voice—and doing so with the maturity and grace of someone who's been working on their craft for more than half their life. Ruby joins Mo this week to discuss her digital footprint, T.J.Maxx platitudes, and why she's naming names in her new solo show "I Don't Trust Adults."

Ruby's on Instagram and TikTok @rubykarp, and you can see her show now through May 3 at Soho Playhouse in New York.

The Elephant In My Head with Kyle Ayers

Wed, 02 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Comedian Kyle Ayers feels funniest when he's not in control. But after brain surgery for Trigeminal neuralgia, he wondered whether he could be funny at all.

He joins Mo this week to discuss how he's reclaimed a sense of adventure on stage, why he thinks stand-up is becoming a more patient art form, and what it was like to perform in an Edinburgh plague crypt.

Kyle revels in the fact that his comedy isn't always legible to audiences scrolling on social media, but lucky for Brooklyn listeners, he'll be performing his solo show Hard to Say at Union Hall this Saturday, April 5. The show's sold out but there'll be a standby line!

You can follow Kyle on Instagram @kyleayers, and make sure to listen to his podcast Never Seen It, where comedians (including Mo!) rewrite famous movies they've never seen.

Unchecked Authenticity with Jeffery Self

Wed, 12 Mar 2025 05:00:00 -0000

Writer and actor Jeffery Self isn't afraid to let go—whether he's pursuing a creative path that doesn't feel generative or reflecting on an early project of his. He writes, too, with a reflexive self-awareness, and an openness that's as vulnerable as it is steady-handed. This week, he joins Mo to discuss treating mental health as a perpetual roommate, finding creative elders, and channeling Jacqueline Susann.

It's All Connected with Kate Helen Downey

Wed, 05 Mar 2025 06:00:00 -0000

Artmaking can help heal us emotionally; for Kate Helen Downey, that healing process has also been physical. Kate's spent more than two decades living with severe period cramps, but it was only when she picked up a microphone for her new podcast CRAMPED that doctors started to take her seriously.

This week, she joins Mo to discuss how she shows herself grace when pain limits her productivity, what excites her about creative problem-solving, and why getting a diagnosis hasn't marked the end of her search for care.

Pure Kayfabe with Tim Platt

Wed, 26 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

Tim Platt is a creative polymath: he can write songs, he can draw, and he can commit so hard to a bit that he ends up infiltrating a multi-level marketing scheme for healthy energy drinks. At the heart of all his work is a desire for collaboration, and for over a decade, he's been Mo's other half in the comedy duo Pasic & Platt.

Tim joins Mo this week to reflect on their creative partnership, his favorite rhymes, and his new comedy album Teeth Like Beak.

Divine Protections with Sasheer Zamata

Wed, 19 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

It’s one thing for an audience to separate the art from the artist. But what if an artist wants to keep aspects of their life separate from their art? Sasheer Zamata has spent over a decade navigating this precarious balance, from her early days on SNL to her recent turn in Agatha All Along. She joins Mo this week to discuss how she stays authentic, why she likes working with her friends, and the thrill of finding new ways to express herself.

Showing Up with Chris Grace

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

For actor and comedian Chris Grace, writing a solo show isn't the hard part. Neither is performing it. It's the feeling that he should always be doing more—more promotion, more show dates, or more new material—that he has to contend with.

This week, Chris and Mo get into the complexities of staging a solo show—especially one at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival—treating the audience like a scene partner, and laughing in the face of death.

If you want to learn more about the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Mo's experience with their solo show (which inspired this whole podcast!) make sure to revisit our first season, where Mo chats exclusively with Fringe performers like Demi Adejuyigbe, Julio Torres, and Cat Cohen.

Midwestern Work Ethic with Bri LeRose

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 06:00:00 -0000

Writer and director Bri LeRose periodically asks herself: if a teenage Bri, living in Wisconsin, looked at her career today, would she think it was enough? And the answer's always yes: she would have thought it was the coolest thing in the world to even share space with the people she admired.

Today, Bri joins Mo to discuss her comedy process, from directing titans like Maria Bamford to co-writing the groundbreaking film The People's Joker with Vera Drew; why hobbies are sometimes the best creative salves; and what it's like to work in Hollywood but live in Wisconsin.

You can follow Bri on Instagram @brilerose and keep up with her work at brilerose.com!

Soft Smile Energy with Ella Evans

Tue, 30 Jul 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Imagine a Victorian sprawled on a chaise lounge. Now give them tattoos or muscles, and place a boiled egg or other odd, unexpected object just out of reach.
