Glad You're Here

When Whitney Rayner was a kid, her cousin was mysteriously pushed off a mountain by the cartel, she was randomly pantsed by a stranger on the monkey bars, and she accidentally hosted a party that smelled so bad her mom thought they had a sewage problem. Somehow she survived, only to realize that her most traumatizing childhood memories make for the perfect stand-up comedy set.
