Episode 34: Paul F. Tompkins
Mental Illness Happy Hour
The talented stand-up comedian, podcaster (Pod F. Tompkast) and writer/actor (HBO's Mr. Show) talks about the role therapy played in helping him turn his pain and rejection into being a happier person and a better artist. Β He opens up about the shame of having parents who didn't find him funny or necessarily interesting, and the beauty of being given a second chance by a peer who was ready to write him off for his past bitterness. Β A bitterness fueled by unrequited, irrational love. Β Holy shit, this sounds Shakespearean!
