It’s time to catch up with Sarah Cooper (writer, comedian, and the presidential lip-syncer who kept you laughing during the pandemic) and, spoiler alert: everything is not fine (but it will be). Why? Because now that the world is re-opening, we all have to learn how to deal with face-to-face human interactions again. Cut to: Let’s Catch Up Soon, Cooper’s take on Dale Carnegie’s infamous self-help book, How to Win Friends and Influence People. Introverts, people pleasers, and cameras-off zoomers, join Cooper and music critic for the Chicago Tribune Britt Julious for a chat about how to forge genuine friendships in this new normal.

The brilliant and frenetic comedian Maria Bamford has always wanted to belong. In her new book, Sure, I’ll Join Your Cult, she shares her stories of navigating through the wild world of show business, psychiatric institutions, and everything in between while on her quest to fit in. Bamford will sit down at Chicago Humanities with superstar comedianAparna Nancherla, author of Unreliable Narrator and expert on impostor syndrome, to get real about relationships, mental illness, the trials of stand-up comedy, and both of their books. Chicago’s own Greta Johnsen (of WBEZ’s Nerdette podcast) will moderate this conversation between two daring voices, as they take audiences on a journey of self-acceptance, belonging, and hilarity.
This program is presented as part of the Roger & Elaine Haydock Humor Series.
