SUMMARY:Ready To Die? – A Comedy Show About End-of-Life Planning
DESCRIPTION:Writer & comedian Alison Zeidman is only in her 30s\, but already she has one Emmy nomination\, one Writer’s Guild Award\, and not just one but TWO dead parents. Impressive! \nAlison’s dad died due to complications stemming from Multiple Myeloma in 2014 when he was just 55\, and her mom was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s at age 58. Frankly\, looking at that family history\, she does not like her odds for longevity — she needs to start getting her affairs in order\, and so do you. In READY TO DIE?\, Alison will walk you through all the basics of end-of-life planning that you can (and should!) do in advance for yourself and your loved ones\, from pre-planning a funeral to choosing who gets the power to pull the plug. By the end of this show\, you’ll go from “Ready to die?”\, question mark to “Ready to die!!!”\, enthusiastic triple exclamation point! \nAlison Zeidman (writer/performer) is an Emmy-nominated and WGA Award winning writer and comedian who got her start doing stand-up in Philadelphia and NYC. Her comedy is frequently described as “smart\,” but maybe it’s just the glasses. Alison has written for Archer\, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee (Supervising Writer) and Adam Ruins Everything (Head Writer & Co-Executive Producer)\, and her humor writing and essays have appeared in the New York Times and The Daily Beast. \nRyan Cunningham (director) is a queer writer/director and Emmy & Peabody award-winning producer in film\, television\, and theater. Directing credits: Samantha Bee presents Wits End (NYCF\, SXSW)\, Alan Cumming’s Club Cumming Presents a Queer Comedy Extravaganza! (Showtime)\, Ilana Glazer: The Planet is Burning (Amazon)\, Expecting Amy (HBO Max) TV producing credits: Broad City (Comedy Central)\, Search Party (TBS/HBO Max)\, Inside Amy Schumer (Comedy Central)\, The Last O.G. (TBS)\, and Ziwe (Showtime).
