The Eighty-Third One... and Erin Gibson

Episode 83 and Wendi and Dfernando's guest interview is Emmy Award nominated actress, comedian, author, podcaster, writer & director Erin Gibson.

Erin Gibson is an expert at mixing social commentary, political satire, and frank sexual talk into nice, neat little comedy packages. Based in Los Angeles, she co-hosts the award winning political absurdist comedy podcast ATTITUDES (formerly titled THROWING SHADE), which has over 6 million downloads and was named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the Top 20 Comedy Podcasts of 2014 and as a 2015 Podcast to listen to by Entertainment Weekly. A web version of the podcast is shot and distributed by FUNNY OR DIE. She tours internationally doing live versions of the show with her comedy partner, Bryan Safi.

Previously, Erin hosted MODERN LADY on Current TV’s INFOMANIA, which comedically criticized the way women are treated by the media.

As a writer and director at FUNNY OR DIE, Erin regularly impersonated Michele Bachmann and Megyn Kelly, in addition to writing and directing sketches starring Juliette Lewis, Jerry O’Connell, Teri Hatcher, Mary Steenburgen, Kaley Cuoco, Natasha Lyonne, and Taryn Manning. Erin created the successful GAME OF THRONES recap show GAY OF THRONES which she wrote and directed, and which starred her real-life hair stylist, Jonathan Van Ness.

As an author, she released the book FEMINASTY: The Complicated Woman’s Guide to Surviving The Patriarchy Without Drinking Herself to Death, which is her collection of hilarious personal essays and political commentary.

As an actress and comedian, she’s been seen on KEY AND PEELE, THE KROLL SHOW, NBC TV’s PARKS AND RECREATION, E!’s CHELSEA LATELY, and clip shows galore. Erin's a regular blogger for HUFFINGTON POST and is better than Taylor Swift when knowing if people are trouble when they walk in.
