What's an Awesome Life? with Sarah Knittel

This Is Your Afterlife

Sarah Knittel (Edinburgh Fringe, Pig Iron School) is one of my best friends, in part because she is a mischievous, sexy, insecure, sweet, and hilarious clown and solo performer. We met at 2019 Cincy Fringe, and I quickly forced my friendship on her. She breaks the seal on This Is Your Afterlife guests crying on the mic.

Content warning: broken engagement, love of performance, normcore funerals, Tree of Life, emotional bitch, Edinburgh Fringe, being hard on yourself, trapped in pantyhose.
