Women in comedy-with Special Guest Ann Pirvu

Season 1, Episode 8 of the The Sister(s) Strain invites in special guest, actress and filmmaker, Ann Pirvu. The ladies discuss women in comedy, the need for our media to represent/promote a wider array of unique perspectives/voices, and how to be authentic to your truth and intentions as an artist.

The conversation shares some inside info into the female led comedy series Ann stars in titled “Poly is the new Monogamy” written by Cat Hostick, that is currently available on Hollywood Suite.
