It’s the final episode of the series and Sachin is flying solo for this one as Lindsey has work/internet issues. A shame but not a problem as he is joined by the brilliant, Emmy-nominated comedy writer Kristen Bartlett.
Live from New York, Kristen talks about being on lockdown in the city that never sleeps as well as her experiences of the Black Lives Matter protests, which has involved sending an internet-busting tweet to Meghan McCain.
It’s then onto Kristen’s career - as co-head writer of Full Frontal with Samantha Bee and, before that, as part of the team on Saturday Night Live. There is wonderful insight into both, including the story of the SNL sketch that led to Emily Blunt appearing as a Brexit-loving contestant on The Great British Bake Off.
Kristen also talks about what it is like being a female comedy writer in the US in general and the origins of the funny and moving theatre show she did alongside husband Jason based on the unexpected death of their dads.
So download, listen and love. And after you have, please Rate and Review. Also, get in touch via the ITTO? Twitter account (@ITTOpod) and/or the ITTO? email address ([email protected]).
Cheers!
