Serving up truth with humor is an insidious and brilliant way to make oneself understood on the most intimate level. Humor is a balm to our weary souls. I, for one, wouldn't want to live in a world without it. By the same token, it takes a heady mix of genuine confidence and vulnerability to be able to laugh at oneself in earnest. Mary Basmadjian, on her own and through her iconic characters, is skilled at bringing audiences into her world and through that lens, allowing us all to gain a fresh perspective of both our culture and our place in it.
