About this listen
From giving TED Talks as a teen to debuting an off-Broadway one-woman show, writer, performer, and cultural icon Ruby Karp has spent a lifetime in the spotlight, and she’s got the stage presence (and battle scars) to prove it. In this hilarious and unfiltered episode, Ruby joins me to talk about her show I Don’t Trust Adults, growing up on the internet, finding her comedic voice, and navigating public life with grit, grace, and a lot of oversharing.
We get into:
- What it really takes to build a career in entertainment
- Bombing on stage and why it’s essential
- Social media burnout and being “seen” in the age of TikTok
- The awkward glory of being a gifted, cringey kid
- The tension between ambition and actual joy
- Why comedy might be the most honest form of healing
This episode is part girl talk, part masterclass, and entirely delightful. If you’ve ever questioned your path, hated your press photo, or secretly hoped your ex sees your reel, this one’s for you. For whatever it’s worth, I couldn’t adore Ruby more, and I can’t wait to see how far her stardom takes her. She’s full of talent, and already a seasoned entertainment veteran.
