About this episode
Either Liz finally stepped up to the mic to tell her own story… or Tyler finally cornered her and hit record. Either way — it's happening.
After moving to Los Angeles with a toxic boyfriend, Liz leaves behind the Chicago comedy scene and finds herself nudged into a Hollywood acting class — one he introduces her to via a "free" class that's anything but. What starts as a supposedly legit acting class quickly earns a reputation as "the place where comedy goes to die." And yet… it's somehow worse than that.
Because this "class" slowly morphs into a spiritual self-help cult.
Yes. An acting class cult.
No, she did not see it coming.
And neither will you.
In Part 1 of Liz's story, we dive into how this Chicagoan accidentally wandered into the hollyweirdest chapter of her life.
