THIS SHOW WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE

On each episode of This Show Will Change Your Life, comedian Dave Maher talks to creative people about a movie, song, book, even a piece of furniture that changed their lives in ways big or small, obvious or surprising.


ABOUT THE HOST

Dave Maher is, according to Gapers Block, a “smartly unhinged, wildly funny comedian with a big heart and warm smile,” and the Chicago Reader would “watch Maher do just about anything.” He has achieved acclaim for his ambitious and genre-defying live shows like “Dave Maher Coma Show,” “Dave Maher II,” “Bracketology: The Tournament of Everything,” and “What’s a Hamilton?: ‘Hamilton’ Recreated By People Who’ve Never Seen Nor Heard ‘Hamilton.’”
