Acting - Evan Wecksell

Andrea Abbate (@andrearabbate) is a tv writer and comedienne and this month her one-woman show is featured at the Los Angeles Fringe festival. Sharing her battles with drugs and eating disorders, she will take you on a roller coaster ride and surprise you where she goes. Andrea also talks about her career selling over 20 tv shows, appearing on Full House and The Office (not that office). Plus, Andrea and Evan talk sleep schedules, comedic influences and the time Andrea saw 18 Michael Jackson impersonators mourning their simultaneous unemployment in Las Vegas. And their mutual fandom of Bon Jovi.

Let’s not sugarcoat it: Nick Smith is a movie producer in Hollywood! As VP of Production for Paperclip Limited, his latest project is a feature length nostalgic young adult comedy SNACK SHACK. Think Superbad meets Fast Times at Ridgemont High! Hear its origin story and how the distribution quickly came together.  Also, what got him into film? What’s it like being a movie producer? And what’s it like working with Yeardley Smith (the voice of Lisa Simpson)? All that and even some Theta Chi chat. Mildly awkward, but mostly entertaining!

Evan returns with a double episode! First, Actress Elisabeth Donaldson talks about being a full-time artist in Nashville, Tennessee and how it’s different from being an actress in LA. (3:50) Plus the story of how she got Evan and his wife into SAG at the same time, going Fi-Core, navigating the pandemic and whether she’s interacted with other Elisabeth Donaldsons. They also go into all of Elisabeth’s creative talents and then scan some obituaries of recently departed Elisabeth Donaldson.

Then it’s a returning (and pregnant) Angela McArdle who is now the National Chair of the Libertarian Party. How did she level up so fast and get over 2/3 of the votes to be the national spokesperson for a political party? We recap her campaigning, how she got Los Angeles to stand down with its v—ine mandate, her thoughts on the Libertarian presidential candidates in 2020 and what 2024 may hold. Evan also gets her party’s new stance on abortion, thoughts on Donald Trump, and how being in a third party still gets her opinions assigned to being left or right. 

In honor of Elisabeth’s appearance, buy this French book on Amazon written by Donaldson Elisabeth! 

In honor of Angela’s return, buy her Communist Cookbook on Amazon! Yum!

Jim Meskimen is a talented mix of acting, voiceovers, impressions and general artistry.
