About this audiobook
Ophira Eisenberg is the hilarious host of NPR's hit trivia comedy show Ask Me Another, a regular host and storyteller at The Moth, and a stand-up comedian based in Brooklyn, NY – but originally from Canada. Ophira's new comedy album, Bangs!, recorded at the intimate Brooklyn mainstay, Union Hall, showcases her unique ability to seamlessly move from acerbic one-liners to autobiographical stories, while airing biting commentaries on the dating app phenomenon TINDR, being married to a comic book nerd, and the singular luxuries of big city living – like being able to cry in public, undisturbed.
