Our next guest is a very funny comedian with a fascinating life story.

Her new stand-up comedy special is called Otsuko Okatsuka Father.

Are you, uh, getting, uh, are you becoming difficult with those around you?

My life, as there is more success, my life has gotten worse.

There's family members reaching out to me I didn't know I had.

Oh my gosh, I'm still caretaking, you know?

And I gave my grandma a bath for the first time the other day, for example.

Because for some reason, I decided to get in the bathtub with her.

And my grandma, she didn't tell me, but she had put lotion all over her body.

You shot your special right next door to us at the El Capitan Theater, which is a movie theater.

You know, because I think you were at home.

I don't hang around here on the weekends.

No, but oh, thank you for letting me have your parking spot.

You know, my grandma moved me here from Japan, straight to LA, and then we would walk up and down, even being at the studio.

You know, we would walk up and down these streets.

No, but we would pass the El Capitan, you know, me as an immigrant kid.

And we'd be like, look at this gorgeous place.

But we could never afford to watch any movies in there.

And then years later, right here I am, doing a craft in a language that isn't mine.

Yeah.  And you didn't have to pay to get in.

So you never been to a film there, or any of that stuff?

I don't think many people have done stand-up comedy there.

Yeah, and because of that, I am the first female comedian to ever have performed on that stage.
