Ann Carr is an utterly unique character actor who has appeared on the Emmy Award winning show Louie, appears regularly at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on a Maude Team, and is the star of the hauntingly hilarious web series The Actress. She has appeared in a ton of commercials, so we talked about what it's like to audition, which is like playing the lottery every day, and winning .it enough of the time. http://www.theanncarr.com and http://theactresstheseries.com

Employee of the Month is a talk show about work. I interview folks who love what they do and we love them for doing it. Listening to these shows may be cathartic, informative, and inspire you to self-medicate.

Special thanks to UCB theater and the WGA-East for making this podcast possible.
