Kambri Crews is an extraordinary woman. Not only in her notable achievements (NYT bestselling author, QED comedy club founder/owner, just to name a few), but also how her hard-to-imagine childhood as the only child of 2 deaf parents, growing up between a shack and a trailer in rural Texas, having a father in jail because of violence against his girlfriend that she witnessed.  As a performer, club owner, publicist, writer, producer, Kambri has a full pedigree in the comedy world, as well as being married to comedian Christian FInnegan, Comedy Central, James Corden”, “Good Morning America” and “The Today Show”. (And even Dr. Lisa!—episode 291 + episode 314. It's a joy to have Kambri on Dr. Lisa at this particular moment in time. She's concluding an 11 year stint of owning/creating a beloved (voted #1 venue in NYC by TimeOut New York readers 2022) comedy venue and is turning the reins to a hand-picked, new owner, comedian and friend, Hannah Lieberman, who is eager to embrace her new mantle as owner of QED. Kambri will still be involved though, she's not going anywhere! It seems like this is perhaps, the first time in her life, Kambri feels she has finally accomplished enough that she can take her time deciding on where to put her focus next. In the meantime there's always ice skating and watercoloring to do...

Though Jessi has only recently arrived in Stoneybrook and joined the BSC, she steps up to take the lead role in an upcoming ballet performance and take on a twice-a-week sitting gig for the Braddocks, another new family in the neighborhood. Matt Braddock is deaf and uses sign language to communicate, and Jessi sees that he and his sister Haley are having a tough time settling in. Jessi is just the right sitter for the job, with her empathy, facility with languages and expression through movement, and close (telepathic?) connection with a best friend who happens to have seven siblings keen to learn Jessi's Secret Language. In this episode, we're lucky to have storyteller Kambri Crews, a CODA fluent in American Sign Language, join us to discuss Book 16. You can find out about Kambri's memoir here.

How does a child of deaf adults who grew up in a tin shed with no running water or electricity witness her father commit a violent crime and then grow up to be the joyful owner of a comedy venue? Kambri Crews will tell you how! Author of the acclaimed New York Times best selling book Burn Down the Ground and sole owner and operator of Q.E.D. which was voted #1 comedy club in NYC by Time Out NY, Kambri is a damn delight. Her message, "Life's Tough. Laugh More." is evident as she chuckles about light things such as restaurant staff seeing her use sign language and then ignorantly handing her a menu in Braille, and heavy things such as her father attempting murder not once but twice. As Julia says, "If at first you don't succeed...". We also discuss gross habits like picking at your skin and chewing the inside of your own mouth, having to read the instructions for how to boil rice at least fifteen times, and how ice skating in midlife can result in the ass of your dreams. Thanks to all our listeners for your generous donations - we're thrilled to be back and we can't wait to tell you what's next.

Like the character in the Oscar-winning movie CODA, Kambri Crews was raised by two deaf parents. She grew up isolated in rural Texas with a philandering father who attempted to kill her mother. Years later, he would be sentence to 20 years in a maximum security prison for attempting to kill another woman. In her book, Burn Down the Ground, Kambri writes openly about the challenges and misconceptions of being raised by deaf parents and her eventual reconciliation with her father as he was dying of cancer in prison. Kambri is the owner and creator of QED, a highly regarded performance space in Queens, NY.

One that almost brought them back together. 2 Lives is produced and hosted by Laurel Morales, pod art and website designed by Annie Galloway.

This week we present two stories about the sounds that silence can take on. Part 1: Kambri Crews attempts to smuggle a gift into prison for her father, who is deaf. Part 2: As Kristine Lycke enters kindergarten, her mother starts treatment for a mysterious illness. Kambri Crews once lived with her deaf parents in a tin shed in Montgomery, Texas. She now owns and operates the performance venue Q.E.D. in Astoria, Queens. Kambri is also a renowned storyteller and the author of the critically acclaimed and New York Times best selling memoir Burn Down the Ground (Random House). She has performed on The Moth (MainStage & radio), Women of Letters, Risk! and Mortified. In 2014, Kambri opened QED, a performance venue meets community and learning center. With over 100 events per month ranging from comedy, storytelling and music to classes like embroidery, cartooning and writing, there is something for everyone. Since its opening, QED has been featured on The Jim Gaffigan Show, NY1, The New York and LA Times and countless other media outlets. Performers have included the super famous like Leslie Jones, Kate McKinnon, Janeane Garofalo, to the first-time performer and everyone in between. Also a public speaker, Kambri has given speeches for Girls, Inc., University of Texas, Texas Book Festival, University of Oregon, SXSW (South by Southwest), DeafHope, and many other schools, colleges, book festivals, and events. Kristine Lycke is a Daughter, Mother, Survivor, Warrior. She holds an Honors B.S. Degree in Applied Psychology from Farmingdale State College, which she received – along with the 2017 SUNY Chancellor’s Award for Student Excellence- just 3 years after completing treatment for Stage III Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (breast cancer). Cancer has always been a part of Kristine’s life, having lost her mother to the disease when she was only 8 years old. Wanting to give back to the facility that saved her life, Kristine works as a Patient Care Coordinator at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. When she is not working, Kristine enjoys spending time with her wife and learning far more about My Little Pony than she ever thought possible from their 6 year old daughter.

Kambri's advice for parents going through the loss of a child: First of all, my heart breaks for you. Remember you are not alone. Jesus is with you even when you feel like he has forgotten you. There will probably be a time(s) where you are so mad at God you can’t even talk to Him. That’s okay. Just remember that He is there. When I was so mad at Him I couldn’t talk to Him, I listened to Lauren Daigle’s album, Look Up Child. It helped me remember I should be clinging to Him, instead of being angry with Him.Do not be afraid to tell people about the loss of your baby. I encourage you to at least tell one person even if you don’t want to announce publicly. It’s a lot to carry around by yourself, and getting out your thoughts and emotions is very important. For us, announcing publicly was something we felt like we wanted and needed to do. We lived in New Orleans and the majority of our friends and family members lived in Arkansas. We would have friends reach out to us, not knowing we had lost Baby D, checking in to see how it was going. It was then we realized we didn’t want to keep the loss of our baby a secret and wanted his memory to live on. That being said, everyone is different in how they grieve. And announcing publicly might not be in your path of healing. It was for us though. Disconnect from social media for a while. I had a lock on my phone that would only allow me 5 minutes of combined social media time. It’s enough to check and see if someone has tried to contact you, but not enough time to mindlessly scroll. I found this to be super helpful. Social media (a lot of the time) only shows positive things, and a lot of that for my personal feed was pregnancy announcements and progression posts about friends of mine that were pregnant. I would get so upset seeing it, not because I wished something would have happened to them instead, but just thinking why did this happen to us? It broke my heart seeing other people that were due around the same time I was. Disconnect from all of that for a little while. I pray that you have a great support system of friends and family lifting you up in prayer. We had friends and family members checking in on us daily. Even if it was just saying they were thinking about us or that they loved us. It was comforting to know that we had that great support during the worst days of our lives. Talk about what you are feeling. Whether you reach out for professional help, like talking with a therapist or a psychiatrist, or if you have someone in your personal life that you really connect with, talk it out. My husband and I were always completely honest with how we were feeling, even when it was scary and even when it was mean. Have at least one person you can be completely open about your feelings with. It’s so easy to get down and lost in a sea of sadness about losing your baby. This is totally understandable and you need to spend all the time you need to being sad. There is no rush in finding what your new normal will be. But something thing that helped me and is still helping me is to think of specific things I have to be grateful for. Specific people, specific things, specific opportunities in my life, and let them know that I’m thankful for them. Ms. Kim gifted us with a book called “Good Grief” and I highly recommend reading that as well. It’s very short and easy to read, but also very helpful. It walks you through the stages of grief, and was therapeutic for me. I shared it on social media and since sharing it, I have had two people reach out to me and tell me they got it for someone they know who is grieving. (To make it clear, this book talks about all kinds of grieving, not just grieving the loss of a child.) I highly recommend for anyone going through loss, and even for someone who is a friend or family member of someone going through loss. Kambri's advice for what to say to someone who has gone through the loss of a child:** Addressing something I said in the podcast to the effect: “I don’t like the phrase ‘it’s all in God’s plan.’” I want to make it clear that I know this is God’s plan for us, for whatever reason that is, but during the time right after we lost Baby D, that was one of the phrases people would say to us and it would just make me angry. So, if you are a friend or family member of someone going through the loss of a child, just be mindful of what you are saying to that person. The words that were the most comforting for me to hear were “You are loved. You are cared for. You are strong, even though you do not feel strong. I am here for you. I do not understand what you are going through, but if you need someone to talk to I am here always.” Special Guest: Kambri Davidson.

Today's Guest: Kambri Crews, author, Burn Down the Ground Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of angry construction workers who are Dumb with a capital D—and dumber—but can hear every word I’m saying… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!   Order from Amazon.com by clicking the book cover above This is not a show people tune into for a lot of heartbreaking conversation. I’m not Oprah and I don’t enjoy fiddling with your heartstrings. So on its own merits, I honestly would have never chosen Kambri Crews’ new book, Burn Down the Ground: A Memoir as a topic of conversation. But there’s a quirky bit of Mr. Media history tangled up here. KAMBRI CREWS audio excerpt: "It is a sad story. But it's not full of sadness. It's full of hope."  Several years ago, Kambri’s husband, comedian Christian Finnegan, was a guest on the show. We got to talking about in-law jokes and he made a remark about how he doesn’t joke about his because his mother-in-law is a lovely woman and his deaf father-in-law is serving 20 years in a Texas prison for attempted murder. Ba-da-bing? No. That momentarily brought the conversation to a halt. Frankly, I didn’t know what to say. A few weeks ago, a publicist pitched me on a new book by Kambri Crews about her insanely crazy, sometimes violent upbringing as a hearing child of deaf parents. I didn’t really think it was right for this show until I read the last line of the pitch: “She is married to standup comedian Christian Finnegan.” Quick, what’s American Sign Language for “Holy Shit!”? Suddenly I had the opportunity to get what the late broadcaster Paul Harvey would call “the REST of the story.” Kambri Crews Website • Twitter • Facebook • Read an excerpt • Order Burn Down the Ground: A Memoir from Amazon.com Kicking Through the Ashes: My Life As A Stand-up in the 1980s Comedy Boom by Ritch Shydner.

We spend the full hour with the amazing Kambri Crews. She tells us what it's like to grow up as a hearing child with two deaf parents, adventures with mom's "back massager", and the night she found out that her father was arrested almost stabbing a woman to death. We laugh, cry and make new drinks. PLUS Katharine shares a new drink based on a friend and show supporter!

On today's episode of Field Guide, we talk about creativity and relationships with husband and wife performers Christian Finnegan and Kambri Crewes. Christian is a stand-up and actor who's been on Best Week Ever and has his own Comedy Central Presents. He also wrote for Colin Quinn's Tough Crowd and can be currently seen on the TBS sitcom Are We There Yet? Kambri is a writer, storyteller and producer who ran the incredible comedy room Ochi's Lounge underneath Comix and currently produces shows at Luca Lounge. Recently, Villard published her first book Burn Down the Ground, a memoir of her childhood and growing up with deaf parents.Plus, don't miss us live! 6/12: Beginnings: Live at UCB East, 9:30pm w/ Kurt Braunohler (IFC's Bunk), Dan McCoy (The Daily Show) and saxophone/drum trio Moon Hooch!

I bought 3 copies and if you listen to our interview you will know why. We met when I hosted Fresh Meat at Comix, a then new club (and now defunct one). It was their first show for up and comers. I created a show about comedy across genres (New Yorker cartoonists, stand ups et al) and there was a panel where I'd ask what made them special snowflakes, worst gigs, first jokes. Meanwhile, the brilliant booker Rocky Benloulou brought in Kambri and the two really shook up comedy scene for zee better. There were soon zillions of shows like mine on the main stage, and no clubs had alternative shows and headline "traditional" stand ups. Then Kambri wanted to showcase folks like myself with few credits who were funny (okay, not like myself). Anypants, Kambri took the downstairs bar and named Ouchi's Lounge after the sweetest...

On this episode of HWYW, music legend RICKIE LEE JONES talks to Julie about the messages girls can get from billboards, the barbed blessing of working with a producer whose opinion you trust, and her horse, Cinderella. What a treat to chat with Ms. Jones! This is a huge deal. Then, author KAMBRI CREWS is here to discuss her fascinating new memoir, BURN DOWN THE GROUND. Kambri is the daughter of two deaf adults, and her dad is currently incarcerated in a Texas prison. It goes without saying that Kambri has a story to tell that is absolutely unique, compelling and heartfelt. A must-listen interview about a must-read book! I also have to mention that there's a pretty incredible connection between Kambri and Rickie because Kambri, as she mentions in her interview, used to work at Chuck E. Cheese. And of course, I was therefore tempted to title this episode "Chuck E. Cheese's in Love." I would appreciate you praising my restraint. Plus, Julie devises a theory about Stephen King's writing process, summarizes the "Cat Food Lady" episode of MY STRANGE ADDICTION, pitches the Vern-cast, comtemplates the process of putting tights over recently lotioned legs and compares it to putting wax over cheese, and happily closes the coffin on "Slut-shaming culture," sending it off with a rather disgusting anecdote about the jerk who hosts SOUNDCHECK. Also, the seductive quality of a certain volume of the encyclopedia! Yet another stupid thing to say about a stranger's dog! And an exciting announcement about our LA show with Patton Oswalt, Katie Notopoulos & Ted Leo and his all-star band on March 29th! A show that is neither to be missed nor to be underestimated!

Time out, young and old listeners! Today in the studio we had a crash course on dumb college kids, dead culture of New York, pulling pranks and loving your daddy. First up we had Greg Proops, a comedian concerned with his college audiences, who could never quite leave Harry Potter after age twelve. He also talked about the disaster that is technology and thats when it was discovered that Chris is only allowed to attend parties through the internet. Ben Stein, Eugene Levy- No - Michael Musto stopped by the studio and discussed his many mistaken identities, favorite gays, and Broadway shows. He shared stories from the good old days of a grimier New York City when the Studio 54 made sure the likes of Danny and Chris were not allowed into clubs. The crew wanted to help fulfill gay intern Thomas's fantasy by setting him and Musto up on a date, but sadly Musto wasn't ready to take the chance. Everyone was on the edge of their seats when professional pranker and founder of Improv Everywhere, Charlie Todd stopped by. He shared prank stories, from pretending to be Ben Folds to making a small band believe they actually had fans and many more. All these stories made Myka theorize that Improv Everywhere has caused mass suicide. Realizing that Todd had taught at UCB, Danny once again tried desperately to continue on from level 3 instead of level 2. After being denied he thought about suicide and then decided to prank his way into the class! Our last guest, comedian storyteller, Kambri Crews, came by to tell us about her life post Comix. She discussed her love for her very gay husband Christian (which made Chris break out into song and dance). While Crews talked about the Big Brother program, she inspired the Hosts of Comical Radio to volunteer, do their part for the community and start hiring twelve year old interns from the program. Crews also shared what it is like to have a relationship with a father in prison. Its a lovely one!
