All my friends' fathers were doctors or lawyers in South Florida, and my dad was literally in the middle of the jungles of Columbia, surrounded by dangerous people. He was always a larger-than-life guy when I was growing up. My parents got divorced when I was six, and I talk about my relationship after that.

But what I also talk about in the book, which we've never spoken about, was I haven't seen my dad in about 20 years. And I get a call one day while I'm doing Gutenberg, which you were so gracious enough to come to. So much fun. And my dad is in New Jersey and he says, I'd love to come see your show.

And I said, OK, I think he's on his third or fourth family now. And I said, come alone. I'll send a car for you. And why don't you stay the night? Wow. That's nice. And I was very anxious about it. And he comes to the theater. I'm looking for him in the audience. I don't see him. Are you like eight years old? A hundred percent. It's Halloween night.

Andrew and I, after the show, decide to dress up as the Mommy Dearest characters. He's the Faye Dunaway character. I'm the daughter. Is he holding a coat hanger? Uh-huh. Yeah. And I look at Andrew after the show and I said, I need you to come with me. I'm very nervous about this. So we go out, both dressed as women. Yeah. My father's never seen me on stage in my life.

Even as a kid. He was not the dad who came to my shows. Right. So this is the first time my father's ever seen me on stage. I come out and I see a man that I know immediately and yet don't recognize at all. It was both... exhilarating and really painful. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know how to interact. He looked frailer than I remember. Well, he's pretty old, right?

He's in his late 70s, but the gregarious... person that I am, that's from my father. Yeah. I think about my dad as this invincible figure, a force of nature, and he's not that. So Andrew is amazing, sort of helping me navigate it. I get in the car with my dad. He's hard of hearing. English is his like third language.

So he's repeating to me that he was telling everybody that he was sitting next to that I'm his son and he was so proud. But also I could tell he understood none of the fucking jokes in the show and just saw everyone laughing and so started laughing with him.
