“Come see host Lyssa Mandel get her guests to open up about their beautiful, awkward and/or touching creations (poetry, songs, sketches and so forth) from their formative adolescent years in this live talk show.” – Time Out New York
“For most of us, the dark days of our adolescence have been swept far under the rug, never to rear their ugly heads again. Comedian Lyssa Mandel, on the other hand, prefers to serve up her teen angst on a public platform.” – LA Mag
“In this live talk show, host Lyssa Mandel invites guests to present poignant and painful creations from their adolescence onstage. It could be anything: poetry, drawings, videos…even relics from a dark Wiccan past. Previous artifacts have included Dawson’s Creek/*NSync mash-up fan fiction, a camp song about kangaroos, and a LOT of cringe-inducing bar mitzvah footage.” – Village Voice
