pplpod Episode 120 dives into Iris Bahr’s shape-shifting career—actor, stand-up, writer, and fearless monologist. We trace the roots of her character work and the breakout of DAI (enough!), the award-winning one-woman play that put eleven lives onstage at once and made intimacy feel combustible. From there: TV turns that stick (Curb Your Enthusiasm’s unforgettable foil), the cult-series creation of Svetlana, and the essays/memoirs that double as field reports from a life lived at full tilt (Dork Whore, Machu My Picchu). We unpack the craft—snap-switch dialects, precise physical choices, direct-address honesty—and how identity, war, sex, and absurdity thread through her comedy without softening the edges. Also on deck: podcasting and voice work, the discipline behind the risk, and what it costs (and gives back) to build a career on radical presence.
