“Dr. Mintz had fantastic stage presence, fitting right in with the seasoned stand up comics who she shared the stage with. She answered every question with humor, knowledge, and sensitivity! On several occasions in the show, the audience broke out in both applause and laughter in response to Dr. Mintz's statements. Several audience members approached me afterwards, raving about Dr. Mintz's part of the show and stating that they hoped she could return to answer more questions in the future. Indeed, Dr. Mintz was a key component in educating and dispelling shame around women's anatomy, which was the goal of my show. Dr. Mintz's has a gifted ability to talk about sex in a tangible, healing, humorous and inclusive way.”
