We’ve come up with a loose structure for season two and I really like it, and more music, more emotions, more laughs, and more struggling to find yourself within relationships that you sort of have to figure out. Have you already started thinking about that? It’s a slow and steady tempo, but with both tender moments and tits.Ĭongratulations on getting a second season. I’m laughing, laughing, laughing, crying. It’s like banger, banger, banger, ballad. There are a lot of fun, silly songs in the episode too, which juxtaposed against this heartfelt, earnest moment. I took the idea to Matt Ray who helped me finish the song, and we wrote a lot of songs together, but it just felt like it would feel too much like a musical to have the song be the end of the show. It’s one of the first times a song has really spilled out of me, other than a song called “Put Your Dick Away,” which came out pretty quickly too. I wrote that song sitting in the corner of my apartment. But it needed to feel like a very personal moment because she is finally communicating how she feels inside and the best way she can do that is through singing. There’s a beautiful musical moment in the finale, but it’s not some featured number, it’s just part of the episode.įirst of all, we didn’t want it to be, “the show ends on a song.” The show needed to end on a specific moment, which is how it ends. We didn’t want to make it a thing where it was like, “Oh, here comes the musical number.” It’s just a part of the fabric of her life because it’s part of her. For me and for Sam, music is the love of our life. Her relationship to singing, as mine is, it’s everything. And slowly the air’s coming out of the balloon, but because all the feelings are so big inside of her, it’s very easy to pick up on where she might be trying to go.Īnd you use music as this catalyst to bring that out of her. You know what I mean? And Sam is a very emotional person who’s basically tucked everything away for a very long time. When you meet certain people, you can sort of see the table of contents on their face. I think you should feel what her life is. You can see that past in the show, even though that’s not what she’s doing right now. One of the things about Somebody Somewhere is that you can tell Sam has a really interesting past. I was thrilled for the opportunity and it was helping keep the lights on literally and figuratively to have that outlet. I was just doing it because those were my chances to get up and sing, and I just loved singing so much. For years and years, I was either waiting tables or I was doing a show every single night, and sometimes going to do a show after I got off of work. Maybe there’s a tiny element of luck in there. Well, it’s the hard work part that sounds like the key. and they offered me a holding deal and we just figured it out. And HBO saw me doing a show out at Largo in L.A. So I feel like people held me by the hand and tried and got me to where I am. He was like, “I think you should do a show.” And I was like, “I don’t know.” He’s like, “Trust me on this.”
I was like, “I don’t really think that I’ll work in a comedy club or I’ll make sense in a comedy club.” She’s like, “Trust me on this.” And then my friend Jason Eagan from Ars Nova, which is a theater, saw me at a karaoke bar. I’m like, “I’m not a dramatic actor.” And he’s like, “Trust me on this.” And the same thing with Amy when she wanted me to go on tour with her.

#BRIDGET EVERETT SEXY SERIES#
The series follows Kansan Sam (Everett, who was born in Manhattan, Kansas), who returns to her hometown and struggles to fit in while grappling with loss and acceptance. A mantra of many, especially throughout the past two years, but particularly relevant for the cabaret singer/comedian/actress’ HBO comedy Somebody Somewhere. “We’re all doing the best we can,” says Bridget Everett.
