Emily Heller Has a Secret Society Comedy in Development at NBC

Not only is the brilliant Emily Heller developing a project at a major network and said project focuses in on “…Beth, a struggling reporter who is tired of feeling invisible in her small town and recruits other women to help take over a dying branch of an all-male secret society, but one of Hollywood’s great comedy power players Kay Cannon (Blockers, Pitch Perfect) is attached to EP along with Laverne McKinnon.

Keep your fingers crossed (or whatever superstition you subscribe to) that this gets a green light so we can see what they cook up.

Please Enjoy All of the“Pasta”, Emily Heller’s Latest Hour

The fact that Emily Heller has made a novelty card for all her fans at live show that lets potential thieves of fans’ wallets know to, well, not steal said fans’ wallets, is just one example of how much care and cleverness Emily puts into her comedy. This is explained on this new album and indeed 100% true as an Emily Heller fan from Indiana showed the card to us.

Pasta, the new hour from Heller, is the same great Emily complete with a painterly level of detail and an organic, almost narrative driven flow, though done for these bizarre, often terrifying times that we live in, but are still managing to get through on a daily basis. In particular, Emily’s observation on her newly agreed relationship to going to the gym is exquisite.

Pasta is available now from Kill Rock Stars and you can (and should) go get it here.

This Bit from Emily Heller’s Upcoming Hour “Pasta” Still Rings True Even After Midterms

This month, the brilliant Emily Heller does indeed have a new album coming out this month from Kill Rock Stars, entitled Pasta.

Here’s a small, but great sampling, in video form no less, of how sharp, colorful, genuine, expressive, and funny Emily can be as a comedian within a single bit. It is a joke about life under the Trump Administration that was written and honed well before yesterday’s midterm elections, but still rings true at this very moment.

Emily Heller’s Pasta officially drops on Nov. 19th, but you can pre-order it now over at Kill Rock Stars.
