Our guest this episode is Belinda Carroll. Comedian, writer, activist, actress, and singer. In addition to organizing the Portland Queer Comedy Festival and helping to organize Portland Dyke March, Belinda has appeared on  Portlandia and has written for publications such as The Portland Mercury, Huffington Post, and Cracked.com. Oh, and she was awarded the Woman of Achievement Award from the State of Oregon, presented to her by governor Kate Brown. We had a laugh and talked about the evolution of the lgbtq comedy scene since her arrival in 2008. During the quarantine, Belinda has been working to help find safe housing for houseless people who've been exposed to or have contracted Covid 19. It's hard to find enough good things to say about this powerful, energetic, funny young woman. I know you'll enjoy it as much as we did.
