Advanced Self Soothing for the Modern Queer: Nurse Comedian Chats

Описание: Self-soothing, self-regulation, fighting back our learned trauma responses...let's chat about how to do that!

Kelli Dunham is the nonbinary ex-nun storytelling RN comic so common in modern Brooklyn. Kelli has appeared on Showtime, the Discovery Channel, the Moth Mainstage, the Cinderblock Comedy Festival, the Risk podcast, and nationwide at colleges, prides, fundraisers and even the occasional livestock auction. Kelli was nominated as a 2105 White House Champion of Change for her work as the co-founder and producer of Queer Memoir, NYC's longest-running most super earnest LGBT storytelling event, was named to the Campus Pride Hotlist and Velvet Park Magazine’s 25 Significant Queers of The Year.

Kelli is the author of seven hilarious nonfiction books about very not humorous subjects (including kids' guides to puberty) and helped set the Guinness World Record for longest comedy show/multiple performers. Kelli's writing has appeared on Refinery29, the New Republic online, Thought Catalog, Autostraddle and the Lambda Literary Foundation website. Kelli's comedy CDs including “I am NOT a 12 Year Old Boy” and "NOT The Gym Teacher" are onregular rotation on Sirius/XM Satellite Radio’s Rawdog Comedy Station.

Former NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio once called Kelli a show off. To her face.
