Laughing all the way

Comedy writer and performer Tami Sagher, AB’95, wasn’t always funny. Oh wait—maybe she was.

Sagher, a Brooklyn-based improviser and television writer, takes center stage in the latest edition of the Core. The article has a few jokes; we promise. But this woman is serious about comedy.
