Beth Lapides is an alt comedy guru, author, yogi and creator of the groundbreaking comedy show Un-Cabaret and The Comedian's Way workshop. In her new show "100% Happy 88% of the Time" she navigates the slippery slope of these rapidly changing times on pages, stages, screens. And she does it with an upward facing attitude.

Beth's blog reflects her wide ranging interests and her feeling that despite the insane level of difficulty, The World Is So Exciting Right Now! She connects woo-woo with edge science and the spiritual frontier to daily life. She interprets, questions, deconstructs, inspires and analyzes. And she does it in all high heels. Or in barefeet. But never in flats!
