On this episode of On the Rocks, we get a little international as we have a roller coaster of a conversation with two leading women in entertainment. Hot on the heels of her current run in Grit, Glitter and Gaslight, Emmy-nominated musician, filmmaker, and performer Sarah McGuiness visits us from the UK. Also joining us is stand-up comedian, writer, executive producer, director, and showrunner Ana Tuazon Parsons, a first-generation immigrant from the Philippines who has blended her heritage and talent to create the show, Jokes with Joysauce, currently up for Emmy consideration, becoming the first original series from an AAPI-owned network ever eligible for consideration in the category at the Primetime Emmy Awards. We laugh, we cry, and we celebrate life's stories as we get intimate, talking about comedy through trauma and grief, finding your identity, women in stand-up, creating your own platform, honoring your heritage, and more, as well as share some funny stories from their careers...with co-host model and musician Steven Dehler and your sassy host with the sassy most, Alexander Rodriguez. Raise a glass, it's On the Rocks!
