Theme "obsessed"
Have you lost control over your thoughts or actions ever? Maybe you were 8 and obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or 48 and obsessed with executing the perfect holiday meal. Chances are you experienced that out-of-control craziness called obsession. What happened? We want to hear about it.
Special Guest - Marcy Goldberg Sacks , the co-creator and co-host of Comedy WIth Wings, a monthly female comedy lab in
Boston.
Ten lucky tellers will be drawn at random to tell and be judged.
