Oh God: Alison Leiby and Ilana Glazer in Conversation

May 22, 2022


Join the acclaimed comedian and writer (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, The Opposition with Jordan Klepper) with The Afterparty and Broad City star Ilana Glazer for a frank and funny conversation about no one’s favorite subject — and Leiby’s new one-woman show, Oh God, A Show About Abortion. Hailed as the “Best Political Comedy of 2021” by The New York Times and presented by Glazer, Oh God is a hilariously candid and fearless account of Leiby’s own experience navigating the big questions and mundane details of a personal decision — exercising reproductive rights in America. Hear them discuss the creation of the show — why Leiby decided to tell her story, the fraught politics of talking frankly about abortion right now, anecdotes that didn’t make it into the show, and much more.
