Comedy Isn’t Therapy, Therapy Is. And the Missing Cat Story Concludes.

Rita the cat relaxing in a spinal twist

Rita the cat, relaxing in a spinal twist (Kayte Young)

Comedian Mohanad Elshieky came to Bloomington for the Limestone Comedy Festival in early June. He talks with producer Avi Forrest about why, after something bad happens, it’s important to wait before talking about it onstage, and how he tries to avoid being pigeon-holed as a comedian. Then we have a short throwback to an earlier episode.

And finally, a man calls Kayte to tell her he’s captured a cat in a cage, and he thinks it’s hers. But the last time he called, the cat Kayte saw nearby was only posing as Rita. Will this one be an imposter too? We conclude this episode with the conclusion to The Third Time Rita Left.
