Comedian Liz Miele on Depression, Trauma, Violence, and Live On-Stage Panic Attacks

Comedian Liz Miele on Depression, Trauma, Violence, and Live On-Stage Panic Attacks

Liz Miele has headlined on comedy stages around the world and produced numerous stand-up specials. It’s an impressive career that began at Manhattan open mics when she was 16 years old. We have a wide-ranging conversation with Liz about her recent depressive episode, the panic attacks that have been going on for years including in the middle of her sets, and her family history. Both of Liz’s grandmothers died by suicide before she was born and her home growing up featured a lot of stress, intensity, and some violence. Liz’s latest special, available on YouTube, is titled Murder Sheets.
