What do dented cans, hot sauce on cuts, and Hollywood success have in common? In this side-splitting episode of Comedy is the Cure, host Taquita Love sits down with the endlessly talented Christina Anthony who brings her wit and wisdom to stories that are equal parts hilarious and thought-provoking.
Known for her unforgettable role as Aunt Denise on Mixed-ish and her roots in Chicago’s Second City, Christina gets real and really funny about:
- Growing up with food safety rules that could double as a thriller: "If the can is dented, the dinner is deadly."
- The family logic behind using hot sauce as a cure-all, even for cuts, yes, you read that right.
- How comedy is not just for laughs, it is a survival tool she has used to navigate everything from Second City stages to Hollywood sets.
- Behind-the-scenes moments from her journey to starring in hit shows like The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window.
With sharp humor and candid insight, Christina takes you on a wild ride through her life and career, proving that laughter really is the best medicine, even if it cannot cure ptomaine poisoning or a hot sauce burn. This episode will have you laughing, learning, and rethinking your first aid kit.
