Ophira Eisenberg gets painfully candid 

The host of NPR’s comedy quiz show “Ask Me Another” is a funny lady who has experienced her share of trauma. The two—humor and pain—are indelibly linked in comedy, and her own brutally honest approach is no exception. But where Eisenberg could easily have infused her comedy with bitterness, she has refused to let anger get the better of her. And her work, as a result, is full of keen observation and empathy.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: [email protected] Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope
