The Big F.U. is a show all about fucking up and failing up. I'm your host, Erica Cantor, and I am queen fuck up. So, I've decided to bring on people who are smarter, more successful, and more talented than I am to learn how to overcome my shortcomings. I can't wait for you to join me on my journey to being a better artist and a less shitty person. Hopefully, you'll learn something along the way, too!
