Ep. 208: Russian-born Vicky Kuperman has performed nationwide for over a decade and was named one of Huffington Post’s new comedians to watch. Her comedy albums “When I Could Feel” and “All Good!” are in regular rotation on SiriusXM, and her book “How to Spy on Your Neighbor” was top 10 in political-humor on Amazon.  She just recorded her third album for Audible’s Comedy Label “Rooftop Comedy,” a collaboration with comics Joe DeVito and Kyle Ocasio, to be released fall of 2018. Vicky is a regular panelist on John Fugelsang’s “Tell Me Everything” and has appeared on Nickmom TV. Her episode of the “Maxim Comedy Showcase” has the most views of any in the series. In her comedy, she talks about everything from her Russian Family, World Travel, and marrying a younger guy, to her favorite topic: dogs. She just got back from a three-week military tour for Armed Forces Entertainment. She entertained troops on 15 military bases and five countries across Europe and it was one of the greatest honors of her life. She recently co-starred in The Vagina Monologues at The Aventura Art & Culture Center, The Boca Blackbox and Westside Comedy Club with Vanessa Hollingshead, Stacey Prussman, Nicky Sunshine, Christine Barclay and Gina Savage. Listen as Vicky talks to Alex about her immigrant experience and about how her work is filtered through that experience.

*Note: This LIVE show was recorded using microphones in the room in order to capture the feel of being in the room, and though it's totally listenable and captures the moment, it does not represent the same sound-quality of a typical episode of the New York City Crime Report with Pat Dixon podcast.  Join host Pat Dixon with Seth Barron, along with Aaron Berg, ISIS Phaggot, Chloe LaBranche, JR Havlan, Ryan Katsu Rivera and a surprise visit from "Jerry Seinfeld."
