Dive headfirst into an urban odyssey on this episode of iCantCU, where I take you on a gripping tale of navigating the bustling arteries of New York City – solo! Yes, you heard that right. I braved the iconic subway alone for the first time, embarking on a quest from an Amtrak train to the number one line, with a mission to reach my daughter’s uptown apartment. Imagine the suspense, the sounds, and the city pulse using the feedback from the white cane.
But that’s not all. Get an exclusive backstage pass to the hilarious world of Laugh for Sight at Gotham Comedy Club! Hear my take on the rib-tickling performances of comedy giants like Jim Gaffigan, Rich Vos, and Bonnie McFarlane, along with the legendary Robert Klein. And let’s remember a shoutout to my friend Brian Fischler, the mastermind behind this brilliant event for nearly two decades.
The journey back to Philly? It’s a story in itself! Join me as I recount the ease of commuting with the morning crowd, only to be met with an unexpected twist in Philly. Have you ever been yelled at to watch where you’re going… even with a white cane? Listen for this mix of comedy, chaos, and candid moments that make city life an adventure worth listening to.
