Join me and Dan Savage today talking about the It Gets Better Project. This is an interview I did with Dan on my former podcast a few years ago and I just LOVE this interview. Dan and his husband Terry created this project to save LGBTQ lives, to support the community with advice, coping mechanisms and connection and support. Dan has really improvised his life, thinking outside the box to really achieve something that had never previously been done and It Gets Better changed the culture in our country.

Comedy Fails Are Gold: Interview with Comedian and Actor Sean Kleier
Clearly Sean and I have nothing whatsoever in common. We had a hard time connecting about comedy and improv on another podcast we met on and so we decided to put ourselves through the misery of disagreeing on everything again on my podcast. It was a sad sad day that we met and we hope it never happens again. We have together made the world a worse place filled with apathy and no enthusiasm for our work.
SHOW NOTES:
Sean Kleier is an actor and comedian and writer, known for Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018), Odd Mom Out (2015) and The Affair (2014).
Twitter and Insta are both @SeanKleier
Here's Sean’s company: http://www.meetmotiv.com/
And here's the Independence Day speech comedy video we mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phKNKP2c2Xw
