Legendary comic Bobcat Goldthwait created a persona so original and outrageous that it catapulted him to fame before he had even turned 20. And while laughing audiences tried to figure out who was behind the strange and often surreal persona that would scream, stutter, and wheeze on stage, TV, and film, it was Bobcat himself that did the most questioning…eventually leading him on a new path that required personal reflection and professional risk; giving way to a second act in the independent film world that took him to Sundance and beyond.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
