Life And Beth

Beth speaks to the legendary, deeply funny and deeply real Judy Gold about living in NY, hiking in LA with Meredith Vieira (sort of), the danger of secrets, the joy of stand-up and the magic of being ready when you get the chance. She has won Emmy awards, had her own specials on HBO, Comedy Central & Logo. She is also the host of her own podcast Kill Me Now. Judy and Beth share a lively, lovely conversation at the gorgeous West Hollywood Library as part of their Lesbian Speaker Series (yes, she is a lesbian). Oh, and she mentions her mother.

She is a life force, fashionista, celebrated actor and a spectacularly funny comedian. Margaret Cho gets into all of it with Beth Lapides in a special episode that was recorded live at the oh so beautiful West Hollywood Council Chamber. Beth and Margaret discuss tattoo's, politics, make-up, how to make up your mind about tattoos, the Chi of Cho and so much more including a brilliant resurrection of her dear friend Joan Rivers (she also reveals Don Rickles incredibly sweet side). Get into it, get into Life (and Beth)
