PunK Intended: A Second City Grad Revue Show
These days it feels like catastrophe is around every corner. Whether you’re trying to make new friends at a party, reminiscing about lost love, or fleeing a house fire, the ride of life never stops. Can a positive attitude and out-of-box thinking be the fix? Perhaps the answer is to sing your way through the storm or to invest everything in the people you love! Perhaps it’s as simple as asking for what you really want — be that a chair, a friend at work, or someone to try your blueberry pie. No matter what, one thing is clear, sometimes you just have to get out of your own way.

Join co-hosts Hannah Rehak and Cara Michelle Smith for an hour of comedic essays. Featuring contributors to The New Yorker, GQ, Reductress and more, Mouth-to-Mouth is a showcase of some of New York's most exciting storytellers.
