Corinna Yee's Me, Myselves, and I
Do you have an alter ego, a secret identity, a Jekyll to your Hyde? Ok, hopefully not the last one. Corinna Yee is no stranger to being written off as serious and unfunny upon first glance, thanks to her round glasses and ironed button-down shirts. But give her a microphone, and the standup comic comes alive. Join her every other week as she unearths the alternate personalities of everyday people, from teachers to therapists. We’ll chat, learn, and laugh about how shapeshifting between different personas can keep us grounded in a world of uncertainty.
