Stacey Burroughs is a comedian and writer from Topanga, California by way of Texas.

I first met her about a decade ago while we both performed in a live show centered around motherhood. Although I connected with her musical comedy then,

it wasn't until I watched her one woman live show,

Bulletproof Unicorn, that I truly understood the scope of her strength and tenacity.

This week, Stacey is sharing her experiences with domestic violence and sibling abuse,

as well as what came next

for her after she turned the aftermath of her grief into a musical comedy. I'm Stacey Burroughs.

I'm Stacey Burroughs.

I'm a writer, comedian, and I also do some music on the side.

My friends and family would call me nutty, but in a good way, hopefully, they would call me funny.

I've been writing comedy for a very long time, probably 20 years or plus.

Comedy is what got me through my childhood.

There was a show called Short Attention Span Theater, and I would listen to that.
