At the top of the hour Marie interviewed writer, performer and educator, Ann Randolph. For the second half of the show Marie continued her conversation from last week on fear.

Ann Randolph is an Ovation Award® winning playwright and performer. Her multi-character solo show Squeeze Box was originally produced by Mel Brooks and the late Anne Bancroft and went on to become a critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit.

Her current solo show, LOVELAND, is currently playing every weekend in San Francisco where Randolph was recently awarded, “Best Solo Performer in San Francisco” by the San Francisco Examiner. In 2011, Randolph was awarded “Best Solo Performer” by the LA Weekly for LOVELAND.

A resident of Los Angeles, Randolph’s previous solo shows and plays have garnered many awards. She is a former member of the Groundlings and Unsafe Sketch receiving LA Weekly’s, “Best Female Comedy Performer.” Her solo show, Miss America, was awarded “Best Solo Show,” by the LA Weekly and as an actress she has appeared in numerous plays, including the long running cult classic, Bob’s Office Party, for which she created the roles of Brandy and Carol. An LA Times critic wrote of Randolph’s performance, “In a pair of wickedly hysterical roles, Randolph steals the show.”
