Our very first interview is with our friend (and sometimes critic), Ege Öztokat. Ege is a brilliant multi-lingual stand-up comedian, writer and expert improviser from Istanbul, Turkey. She candidly shares with us her experiences with Contamination OCD. We discuss Hollywood’s misrepresentation of OCD, bad therapy experiences and the necessity of medication and its less helpful effects. Also, we chat about comedy writing and performing and how English is her comedy language.

Ege has a one-woman show called “Antidepressed” with upcoming performances in Turkey. She will also bring her one-woman show to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival for the entire month of August 2024.
