Pop Geeks Interviews Lizz Winstead, Comedienne And Activist
Lizz Winstead, the subject of my newest interview for Pop Geeks, has been active as both a performer and an activist since the 1980s. Starting out as a stand-up comedienne with appearances on many popular comedy programs of the 80s and 90s, she would later go on to co-create the seminal Comedy Central program The Daily Show. From there, her performing and her activism grew in tandem. She’s well-known for helping create the pro-choice organization Abortion Access Force, previously known as the Lady Parts Justice League, and she recently released a socially distanced comedy special, Corona Borealis, on Vimeo. Danny Deraney, who previously set up my Pop Geeks interviews with Lori Alan, Shedrack Anderson and Maryam Henein, connected me with Lizz last month, and we discussed Corona Borealis, Abortion Access Force and more. I hope you all enjoy reading this interview. Say hello to Lizz Winstead! —- Johnny: By the time this interview is published, your special, Corona Borealis, will be available for rental and download on Vimeo. What were,
