  • #38 - Good bi girlfriend w/Niki Mohrdar pt2

    This week on Best Before Date, here's the second part of our conversation with runner up of BC's Funniest Female Comic - Niki Mohrdar! Everyone loved the first part last week! In this one Niki talks about dealing with anxiety, trying hard to read people, hating nudes from men, and fearing saying something stupid (Al doesn't have this fear so he says stupid things all the time!). Niki also presents a good case for why she is a good girlfriend; as well as share the story of how she met her boyfriend! (sorry for another two-parter! xoxo)
