KC Shornima | Get Comfortable With This Darkness | Mike Birbiglia’s Working It Out
Comedian and SNL writer KC Shornima might be the only Working It Out guest who has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. KC and Mike get to the bottom of why she thrives in stressful situations like mountain climbing, camping on a glacier, and writing for Weekend Update. Mike asks KC some questions from her bosses, Michael Che and Colin Jost, and KC explains why she feels compelled to talk about difficult topics on stage.
Please note: This episode contains discussion of sexual assault.

Yelling "rape" to get her bf to stop eating her fries — laughed out loud imagining that scene!

She answered the jealousy question so candidly that you didn’t get to ask the follow up 🤩

Big fan when you bring on comics I haven’t been exposed to before. Will keep an eye out for her going forward.
