THE BLURB: Though Kayleigh Weathers has been a therapist for a long time (she coaches queer folks on attachment styles and connecting with themselves), she's relatively new to standup comedy. That gives us a great POV on how someone with such a smart, distinctive voice, learns how to translate that into a standup routine. As you'll hear, Kayleigh was born Lesbian and raised Mormon (where the message was "pray the gay away"). That created more than enough internal conflict to power several standup careers. Comedy as very real therapy.
