    We’re joined by Lisa Van Arsdale to talk about her one woman show “Lisa Joins a Cult”, which is taking place on March 23 at SteelStackts at 7:30 p.m!
    Lisa VanArsdale is a comedian, podcast host, and cult enthusiast whose love of culty groups and curiosity about the divine has taken her to holy sites all over the world. Lisa’s years of visiting with these groups is what drives her podcast-turned-live-performance “Lisa Joins A Cult.”
    Lisa approaches the complexity of cults and the people inside these communities with tenderness and humor, sharing a side of humanity many outsiders don’t get to see. Lisa has performed standup on three continents, but mostly here in the Lehigh Valley. She is also probably the only human to own both Mormon underwear and a Moonie crown and she’s obnoxiously proud of that.

Great job

You guys are doing a great service to the Lehigh Valley.

A nostalgic gem!

I spent my 20s in the Lehigh Valley before moving south. It reminds me of all the things I love about the area and excited to visit again! Plus, the guys are super funny and wonderful to chat with!

Yikes!

I have tried. I mean REALLY tried to like this podcast. I’ve listened for the last 2-3 months and I just can’t do it any more. The scratchy, irritating voice of George is too tough to listen to. And put that on top of the juvenile banter; it’s practically unbearable. Tyler’s humor is the only thing redeemable about this show.
