Claire is a small Jewish girl with a self-proclaimed zest for life (when she isn’t feeling depressed).  She’s a very funny comedian, born and raised in Manhattan, Producer of Good Potential Productions & the Bearhug Variety Show (Next show 12/21 – 7PM @ Caveat Theater), and NYU business school student.  She dreams of being the next Harvey Weinstein in the entertainment business, except nice.  Today we go deep on therapy – Claire is a guru and answers questions about Group Therapy, tackling anxiety by deconstructing thoughts into core beliefs, boundary setting, parental relationships, romantic relationships, sunk cost fallacy, and even how to stop a panic attack.  I really enjoyed this interview, and Claire’s awesome.  Follow her at the links below,

Matt Miller is a Jewish standup comedian who grew up in a working class family in Long Island, New York.  He’s been doing standup for 2 years and has an extensive background in musical and theatrical performance.  Now living in Queens, he regularly performs at QED, on Tightpants Comedy shows, and elsewhere around the city.  This interview is the best thing I’ve ever done in my illustrious standup comedy career.  If you don’t watch or listen to it, you’re dead to me, and don’t bother trying to get back on my good side because if you blow this off and it’s not liked, favorited, and shared with at least 2 people you know by next Sunday night, Matt Miller’s grandpa is going to steal your girlfriend and make love to her in front of you.  Anyway.  It’s good.  Matt’s the man.  Follow him at the links below.  Or else…you know.  What I said before.  Ok.  Love you.  Bye.
