Be Too Much | United States of Comedy, Ep 2

23m 40s

Called "too much" her whole life, Austin comic Lea’h Sampson now embraces the "too much"-ness in her comedy. She confronts the challenges of life on the road while remaining her own true self, and of being a Black woman in a world where there is often no more than one person of color on a standup bill.
