rachel dratch – The Comedy Bureau

Upcoming Book “Notes from the Bathroom Line” Has One of Hell of a Line-up of Contributors

If you’re looking for something way in the future to look forward as a way to potentially have something to get you through the end of the year all the way into 2021 when maybe, possibly, hopefully there will be a vaccine that we all can get for COVID-19, there will be a magnificent collection of essays, poetry, toons, short stories, art, and so much more for well over 100 of the best women in comedy (from all corners including stand-up, writing, sketch, acting, podcasting, musical comedy, and more) in Notes from the Bathroom Line: Humor, Art, and Low-grade Panic from 150 of the Funniest Women in Comedy.

Amy Solomon (producer on Silicon Valley, Barry) curated the incredibly impressive literary gathering for this book and we really can’t wait for Mar. 16th, 2021 when Notes from the Bathroom Line is set for release.

Thus far, slated to contribute are:

Lolly Adefope, Maria Bamford, Aisling Bea, Lake Bell, Rachel Bloom, Rhea Butcher, Nicole Byer, D’Arcy Carden, Aya Cash, Karen Chee, Margaret Cho, Mary H.K. Choi, Amanda Crew, Rachel Dratch, Beanie Feldstein, Jo Firestone, Briga Heelan, Samantha Irby, Emily V. Gordon, Patti Harrison, Mary Holland, Jen Kirkman, Lauren Lapkus, Riki Lindhome, Kate Micucci, Natalie Morales, Aparna Nancherla, Yvonne Orji, Lennon Parham, Chelsea Peretti, Alexandra Petri, Natasha Rothwell, Amber Ruffin, Andrea Savage, Kristen Schaal, Megan Stalter, Beth Stelling, Cecily Strong, Sunita Mani, Geraldine Viswanathan, Michaela Watkins, Mo Welch, and Sasheer Zamata.

More contributors will be added down the line for a book that’s so much more promising than a lot of what 2020 has given us.

By the way, you can pre-order Notes from the Bathroom Line here.

This actually sends up media coverage and the rise of A-listers more than it does Margot Robbie specifically. The mix of satire is pure silliness is as done exquisitely as to be expected with Billy on the Street.

Either way, it’s another ridiculous and ultra-clever Billy on the Street obstacle course with Rachel Dratch trying to make her way through, kind of terrified, with Billy Eichner yelling the whole way through.

Watch and enjoy it here (and take note of the more subversive edge that Eichner and company have taken this season).

Need some completely absurd to watch right now?

Well, watch Taylor Moore do his thing and show you how to be able to find which side of the gender spectrum your food starts out at. (We’re sure if food was sentient that it could identify with other genders FYI)

This, and many other silly bits and videos are part of the new season of Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV.

While Star Wars: The Force Awakens is poised to break every box office record known to man this weekend, it is still legal, as Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have been saying, to see both Sisters and Star Wars in the same weekend.

To hit that point home, the entire cast of Sisters including Ike Barinholtz, Rachel Dratch, and Maya Rudolph on top of Tina and Amy as well as writer Paula Pell went on Late Night with Seth Meyers and voiced various Star Wars action figures to say why you should go see Sisters.

Indeed, they do make a great case for seeing both.

For Billy on the Street’s latest trick, they show the long, terrifying road to exiting the Church of Scientology. Rather done in some sobering documentary by Alex Gibney, Billy Eichner made an obstacle course with the theme specific to Leah Remini’s recent escape from Scientology and enlisted Rachel Dratch to make a run through it.

It’s just another brilliant day at the offices of Billy on the Street. Watch Scientology look more fun than it’s ever seemed here.

Rachel Dratch, Andrea Martin, and James Urbaniak Join USA Pilot Difficult People Starring Julie Klausner and Billy Eichner

With just the cast of Klausner and Eichner, and now Rachel Dratch, Andrea Martin, and James Urbaniak joining in, we’d already be thrilled at the prospect of how good Difficult People could be.

What makes this even more exciting is that Amy Poehler is producing this, which it makes it hard for us to think that USA Network wouldn’t pick this up.
