Savage Comedy Club Podcast Offers Humor and Hope for Abused Womenhttps://creators.spotify.com/ The podcast is described as rage meets punchines. Haines describes her former marriage with no-holds-barred honesty and wit, as well as turning betrayal and abuse into a masterclass of comedic revenge. The episodes are both cathartic and healing. "Abuse thrives in the dark, but it can't survive the spotlight," said Haines. "By bringing the reality of my marriage to the stage at The Savage Comedy Club, I'm hoping to break the silence that keeps so many men and women trapped. If my story helps even one person recognize the manipulation and find the courage to walk away, then every joke told was worth the journey it took to get here." Approximately 1 in 3 (roughly 840 million) women aged 15 and older worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence in their lifetime, mostly from an intimate partner. These statistics have remained largely unchanged over the past two decades, with roughly 10% of women experiencing violence annually. "Melissa is a comedic genius," said Sally Marks, an author, comedy writer and co-host on two episodes of Savage Comedy Club podcast. "She exposes her ex-husband's lies and betrayals with such clarity and wit that you can't help but laugh out loud at the absurdity of events." In addition to the podcasts, Haines is the author of "They Called It Love" which is currently on sale at Barnes and Noble. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/ She is also in the progress of writing her second book.
