Program
Michael Cruz Kayne is a comedian and writer on The Late Show with Steven Colbert. However, his life isn’t always funny. The loss of his young son profoundly changed his world and his family. In this hilarious, difficult, and touching show about grief, Cruz finds moments of humor, compassion, and ultimately some assemblance of acceptance. If everyone dies, why does nobody talk about it?
Please note: Recommended for mature audiences.
