A few weeks ago, Sandra Bernhard was in town along with her pal, Rosanne Cash for a Wits appearance at The Fitzgerald Theater. She took a few minutes to drop by for a Theft Of The Dial session before that show.

I have been a big fan of Sandra's for decades. Beginning with my realization that she also sported a gap-toothed smile. Then I fell in love with her stand-up and her acting. I have even "borrowed" from her during member drives by using the quote "..without you, I'm nothing."

We chatted about growing up with gapped-teeth; Her introduction to and admiration of Prince; The L Word, a cable series she briefly appeared in years ago; how she keeps her comedy material fresh when she's touring; social media and the recording and content of her brand new album I Love Being Me, Don't You?

She also discussed in great detail why she chose each of the following songs including a little insight into an ongoing collaboration between herself and Justin Vivian Bond.
