NY Observer, photo

Here's a New York Observer article. In it, you learn that I hate myself, that SHAC has an Adult Swim pilot in the works, that I have a new 6-episode series about to premiere on SuperDeluxe, that I co-wrote a Gawker book with Bridie Clark (out Oct 2), and most importantly that I am a female with female genitals that remain on my person throughout all my stand-up performances.

Getting my photo taken is an ordeal, largely because I have trouble smiling (first smile, age 19) and I'm hoping I'll come out looking like a completely different human being.

What I expect myself to look like in photos:


What I generally look like in photos:


What puts me at ease though and brings a little dignity to the equation is that photographers are usually willing to help comedians out with clever concepts (like putting a banana peel on our head or wearing a clown suit).

This photographer was pretty cool though and the picture came out fine.

In conclusion, veins.
