...Defecation? For Barber, a first-time visitor to Madrid Fusion, the experience was confusing. "I keep asking myself 'What are we doing here? Isn't this effete, precious, egotistical?' But then I see these guys like Quique [Dacosta], [Joan] Roca, and Adri?, and they're so knowledgeable and passionate and energized," Barber says.

But it does have a sort of Special Olympics feel...
...rehab facility. She's back on the stand-up circuit and is out with a book, There's Nothing in This Book That I Meant to Say (Harmony), in which she talks about her legal problems - and many other things - through the lives of historical characters, from Joan of Arc to Abraham Lincoln. She talked with TIME's Richard Zoglin...
