I toured it to like countries on A Hundred Date, self-produced tour, like you will listen to my story, I'm going to, you know, but a very dogged, obsessive kickoff to my early sobriety.
What happens when you mix comedy with a serious journey of addiction and recovery? You get Eleanor Conway's powerful story. In this episode of 'Alcohol Free Life', Janey Lee Grace sits down with Eleanor, a Comedy Store King Gong finalist who has been making audiences laugh since 2014. But Eleanor's life hasn't always been a barrel of laughs.
She spent her 20s jet-setting around the globe, interviewing big names like 50 Cent and Justin Bieber, while secretly battling her own demons with addiction. Her debut show, 'Walk of Shame', isn't just a comedy act—it's a raw and honest look at her struggle with addiction, and it has captivated audiences in over 10 countries on a 100-date tour. Eleanor opens up about how performing became her therapy, helping her process her past and stay on the path to sobriety.
She also talks about the crucial role that connection and support play in recovery. Whether you're in the midst of your own battle or supporting someone who is, Eleanor's story offers hope, laughter, and a reminder that you're not alone. Tune in to hear how she turned her 'Walk of Shame' into a triumphant journey of recovery.
