My latest for @theinterrobang is a total wish list interview. Liza Treyger @glittercheese over the years at Just for Laughs has always been a joy to discover as a comic. She is part of grand tradition of The Jewish female truth teller While being totally scathing,shiny, and at once so fucking real. Thank you very much to the bright and kind Andrew Max Levy @justoffthesix for allowing me to use these photos. And the whole @c2ccomms team.

This doesn’t feel real. The comedy world lost one of it’s great lovers. True documenters. I met Sara’s words before I ever met her. Her column Notes from a comedy Junkie was the ticket to glimpse into shows I couldn’t go to. That column was a living history of rooms and festivals moments where the biggest comedians relaxed and spoke candidly about fear and fame. That’s the thing about comedy it’s so fleeting those moments that take so much to make crackle and fade. Sara saw their magic and made them last. She was capable of that sort of writing because that’s who she was as a person someone who really respected the art of Comedy for all it’s complex nuance. She basked in the process of solidifying imperfection and examining it under-stage lights. It turning out all better then it began. She loved a show. She loved all parts of what that took she saw them appreciated them. To have a Sara Dahms article written about you it was truthful and celebratory. She did not frame or angle her stories in accordance to anyone but herself. I love how she would cover the roasts and totally changed how I came to think of them as a major comedy event. A break out moment for stand ups and writers. When I did finally meet this beautiful person it is not not a understatement she changed my life. Getting me my first writing gigs at The Interrobang. At Just for Laughs in 2018 When I saw her again in 2019 she was so proud of all that I had accomplished. I remember gushing over the gala tickets we had both gotten. She promised me to show me around Skankfest when I went. She was so gracious in the industry. Would talk comedy with anyone long enough to know if they knew their stuff or not. Introduced everyone around her without pretentiousness. Doing the red carpet at Just for Laughs was one of her true joys. Just for laughs is huge but I know the streets of Montreal will feel so empty without you this summer. I also know a part of you will always be there. I write for Interrobang. You know Sara Yes. She’s the best. #saradahms #comedy #theinterrobang #wordsdontdie #missyouforever #youngemoderncries (at Just For Laughs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcAkt_mrHnH/?utm_medium=tumblr

As an interviewer it’s a welcome challenge to interview someone wiser then yourself. That is what made me curious about @byronbowers . We had to reschedule our interview for @theinterrobang due to the death of his father. When we got to it I said “I know you are grieving and we can just stick to questions about your JFL 42 show ,but if you are up to it I have some questions about what these last few days have been.” “He said let’s do it.” This was the result.
