About our guest:
Edward is an actor, author, producer, singer, songwriter, and someone yet to be defined. Edward is a sole survivor of a rare cancer and tells his life story in his book "Cancer, Musical Theatre, and Other Chronic Illnesses.”
Edward’s story is a fantasy, non-fiction, funny-as-cancer-can-be musical theatre fever dream fueled by chemo, alcohol, sex, & heartbreak. Edward navigates his way through the painful realities of being a full-time cancer patient - indecencies, heartbreaks, wins, shenanigans & more.
Edward is a creative who is constantly finding new ways to express who he is and to bring humor, love, insight, passion, talent, and inspiration to all. Edward, thanks for sharing your many gifts and talents and for being our guest on Life’s Essential Ingredients. Welcome to the show!
TOTD – “I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch, which I've got held up for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
George Bernard Shaw
