Episode 1642 - Bridget Everett

Marc Maron
About this episode
When Bridget Everett was growing up in Kansas, the question “How are you feeling?” was not often asked. That’s part of the reason why Bridget embraced singing and making music as her primary way to connect with people. She tells Marc how this led to the development of her live cabaret shows which got her noticed by Michael Patrick King, Amy Schumer, and eventually HBO. They also talk about how Bridget’s acclaimed and beloved show Somebody Somewhere taught her how to face grief and live with it.
