That same year, she debuted her one-person show, Marguerite, which she took to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, and filmed in 2025 at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in Los Angeles. The show combines onstage storytelling with video clips from her life growing up on the South Side of Chicago. Marguerite premiered on St. Patrick\u2019s Day 2026 on the UCB\u2019s YouTube channel, co-produced by Abso Lutely, and Winters sat down with me over Zoom to talk about her comedy start, adapting her show for people outside of Chicago, and what comes next. There\u2019s a lot to get to, so let\u2019s get to it! ","author_name":"The Comic's Comic Presents Last Things First","author_url":"http:\/\/thecomicscomic.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
