This is a solo episode and I have shingles. In this episode we talk about the art of being a femme, why lesbians don’t have exes, and how to get someone to ask you out. I also read your confessions from my live show, including queer awakenings, homoerotic childhood friendships, growing up religious, and the time I cried when gay marriage was legalized. We also touch on Insatiable, Gilmore Girls, The Odyssey, why I want to move to New York, and why getting a cat might change your life.Join my mailing list to get updates when I tour your city: https://hannahbeckcomedy.com/Submit to the “Dear Daddy Pod” segment: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfgL9J-nXPxjCMPqpOMnM0NOslzeXblZTtn0k6LHVMNcxPvgg/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=109281772288485467723New episodes every Monday.
