When you put comedian Jacqueline Novak and Julie Klausner from Difficult People in a room together for a web series called How To Weep in Public, depression will not only be talked about, but broken down in such colorful ways that you probably weren’t even aware of like feeling bad for not killing yourself.
Refinery 29 is expanding beyond being an online cultural destination for women by getting into making their own online content. Amidst developing short films, channels, etc., Refinery 29 has also launched an online comedy channel on YouTube called Riot. It’ll give a platform to many of the best female voices in comedy.
Already, they have some great content from Aparna Nancherla, Jo Firestone, Jacqueline Novak, Phoebe Robinson, and Shannon Coffey.
Specifically, absurdist puberty tips from Aparna and Jo and an intimate conversation about depression and anxiety between Jacqueline Novak and Lena Dunham are two you definitely want to watch.
So, keep an eye on Riot or subscribe to make that way easier.
