There’s a reason we go to a doctor, and not say, our next door neighbor,* when we are sick. It’s the same reason our Mo Rocca went to Bebe Nuewirth while preparing for his recent cabaret show, Mo Rocca ‘Cross America — Bebe knows cabaret!

Mo Rocca spent 5 Minutes with the Tony (and Emmy) award-winning actress and she gave Mo some tips on how to perfect his performance and maximize his space on stage.

Watch to see what Bebe had to say.

*provided said neighbor is not, in fact, a doctor.
