One-Woman Show Explores The Humor Behind The Pain Of Abusive Relationships

Abusive marriages and domestic violence aren’t topics that are typically entertaining. They’re also unlikely to induce side-splitting laughter.

That’s one of the challenges for writer and performer Laurel Ann Porter, who just completed her Ph.D. at ASU.

Her one-woman show, "How Not to Make Love to a Woman," attempts to find comedy in the pain of the relationship with her former husband.

Steve Goldstein was a host at KJZZ from 1997 to 2022.
