February 23, 2018 97: Growing up Irish & falling into stand up with Eleanor Kerrigan
Eleanor Kerrigan is the latest in a long line of historically funny women who cut their teeth at the World Famous Comedy Store.

On this episode of Be Here For A While, Eleanor tells Rachael about her unique experiences growing up street-savvy in South Philly, as one of 10 children in a very Irish-Catholic family. She paints an uproarious portrait of her life experiences, beginning with her childhood in a three bedroom row home and moving to her adventures as an adult living in LA!
