On this episode of First 5, we’re joined by actress and writer Katie Folger, who performs the first five pages of her bold, funny, and disarmingly honest one-woman show, Getting in Bed with the Pizza Man.
In these opening pages, Katie pulls us straight into a world of intimacy, vulnerability, and sharp self-awareness (where humor and heartbreak share the same slice). With wit and emotional precision, she explores desire, loneliness, fantasy, and the stories we tell ourselves about connection, all while establishing a voice that’s fearless and deeply human.
First 5 is a podcast about beginnings—the first five pages that set tone, character, and promise. Katie’s piece is a masterclass in grabbing an audience immediately, inviting us into a confession that’s as relatable as it is unexpected.
Whether you’re a writer curious about crafting a compelling opening, a performer drawn to solo work, or just someone who loves brave storytelling, this episode is a must-listen.
Katie has performed this show around the country and there is more to come. Follow here on Instagram to keep track of her journey!
