Mira Mason: Comedian
This week on Shirts in the Pool, we’re joined by comedian and artist Mira Mason. We talk about her journey of reclaiming her body through strength training, working with a coach, and the confidence that comes from getting stronger. A bonafide horse girl, Mira grew up in Arizona riding roughstock, keyhole, and barrel racing — she soon found out you can’t be a fat girl and be a rodeo queen. We dive into binge eating, growing up with an almond mom, and the comfort of finding someone you can eat around. Mira also explains why being called “brave” for your outfit isn’t helpful, rates Mike’s Bumble profile, confirms his emoji game is way too slutty, and recounts her recent lube wrestling victory. Together, we reflect on growing up around skinny kids, the disconnect between old photos and self-image, and what it really means to feel at home in your body. As Mira puts it: “At its core, you want to feel better, you want to be able to move better, and feel better in your body.” You can follow Mira on Instagram at and be sure to check out her monthy show, High Voltage Comedy at Culture Shock!
