Jebus. If Waller-Bridge were to do a gofundme now she’d have to be beating sponsers off with sticks, big ones.

Phoebe can beat me with a stick all she wants.

I don’t mean that sexually, perverts. I just mean I really like her show. It’s the best thing I’ve seen in years.

As I recall she first performed the show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Kickstarter would be a smart way to finance a low-budget show like that.

The TV series is a great exploration of grief and guilt and how we deal with it. Plus, Godmother is one of the most vile characters I’ve seen on TV in recent years (probably due to the fact that I knew someone in real life just like her).

The writing on that show is just incredible.
