There are a few key comedians Kira credits with inspiring and reinforcing her desire to pursue stand up comedy. 1) The first time she saw Mork from Ork sit on his couch using his head 2) The first time she snuck into a movie theater to see Eddie Murphy's Raw. 3) The first time she lied about her age and illegally a headliner at a real comedy club. Afterwards he came over and talked to her and the other 15 year olds she dragged down to Cobb's Comedy Club that night. That comedian was Ritch Shydner. Now, over two decades later Kira gets to gush all over him again. They discuss drugs, diapers and he even tries to talk her out of having another kid. He's appeared on The Tonight Show with both Johnny and Jay. He recurred on Married With Children and Roseanne. And more importantly, he's a father to three very lucky kids. Be sure to rate and comment on iTunes. Also, you can find the show on Stitcher.
