Ariel Elias (Jimmy Kimmel Live!) and I flirt in bed while I open for her on the road! Ariel is a hilarious comedian and writer and has blown up on the internet and when she asked me to open for her in PA on New Years Eve for a Jewish show I said ‘how dare you!’ kidding I said “YES!” The beautiful thing about going on the road with someone is you barely know them before and then after you are trauma bonded. Ariel is one of the best, funniest, coolest people and I feel so grateful to have gotten to know her!
