Stephanie sits down with comedians, writers, and performers to discuss the line between comedy and tragedy. She aims to cultivate an intimate conversation about each guest's personal tragedies and how they utilized humor to make it through. Topics will range from death, illnesses, breakups, divorces and other traumas. The underlying theme from episode to episode is the use of humor to handle tragedy and hardships. Is there any such thing as "too soon"? Is comedy really tragedy plus time or can it happen right away? Can comedy expedite healing? The hope is that viewers can relate to the guests on a deep personal level and find comfort and laughter in their shared human experience.
