It was the beginning of the long, dark hall of winter that is February, and Stephanie had just returned from a trip to sunny Italy. So, she brought over, comedian, actor, and host of Cheers to You, Elliot Lerner, to drink Aperol spritzes and trade podcast episodes.

Elliot might be one of Stephanie’s favorite guests, because he fits her perfect green room personality. He talks when she wants him to talk, and shares similar insecurities. Pour your own favorite aperitivo and listen as we learn of first performances (including first lines ever spoken onstage), warm-ups, and working through anxiety as a performer.
