From Will to Sarah to Will:  A Transgender Comedian's Return to Life As Man

After a 7-month period living and performing as a woman, comedian Will Franken went back to living as a man

Transgender comedian Sarah Franken finally became a woman in March after ‘a lifetime of secrecy’. But is she now too happy to cut it as a satirical standup?

SOAPBOX SATURDAY CONTINUES:

“I had no idea I was gonna live like this,” says comedian Sarah Franken. The word “this” encompasses a number of things: it means wearing a skirt and having manicured nails; it means giving up an established stage name; but chiefly, it means identifying as a woman. For over 40 years, this felt like an impossibility – something that seemed, to Will Franken, destined to alienate friends, family and the gig promoters on whom he depended.
