Billed as a “coming-of-middle-age story,” Bridget Everett's new HBO series “Somebody Somewhere” is chock-full of existential dread, nostalgia and comic relief.
From New York’s nightlife scene to HBO, Bridget Everett has traversed genres to win audiences over to her irreverent, heartfelt brand of comedy.
“Losing your voice, feeling like you’re rudderless through life, giving up on yourself — those are all things that hit close to the bone,” Everett told NBC News. That’s pretty much the state of things until Sam is befriended by her co-worker Joel , a former high school classmate and fellow show choir enthusiast. Still enamored with Sam’s singing from their student days, Joel pushes her to take part in a local underground night of entertainment, called Choir Practice. Led by the charismatic M.C.
“In my hometown, there’s no gay bar. There’s not even a gay night at a bar, as far as I know. But there’s a gay community,” Everett said of the inspiration for Choir Practice. She and the show creators conjured up a kind of aspirational home for Manhattan’s queer residents and anyone part of that tribe by nature of being an outsider.
“There was a mandate that no one is a cliché. Everyone is a real person, and as part of that, they allowed me to rift a little here and there. With Bridget, it was just natural. There’s just a reality to the way people riff that you can’t really write on the page,” Hiller said of developing his character with Everett and the show’s writers.
