Annabelle Gurwitch on Living Through Ups and Downs

May 13, 2021

Annabelle Gurwitch is an award-winning actress, comedian, and writer. She’s also a secular humanist and a skeptic, though that hasn’t always been the case — at least not the skeptic part.

On this episode Annabelle speaks with host, Jim Underdown about her beliefs, her new book, life as a performer, new age religions and cults, and dealing with adversity.

Annabelle’s latest book, You’re Leaving When? Adventures in Downward Mobility (Counterpoint Press, 2021) is an insightful trip through trying times as experienced by a funny woman with a flair for living.
