PHAT JOKES

PHAT JOKES

So there's a lot of BIG GIRL energy going on in my life right now. First, I co-wrote a sketch for my Groundling Lab class...it's about a woman who's struggling with her weight...her husband ate her peach(one of her few healthy treats), and she blows up. It's a funny sketch.

And the other day, I almost got to do a part on a web series that is getting a lot of buzz....but the jist of the scene was that some guy got stuck with the "fat chick." Always HILARIOUS right? Luckily, I voiced my concern...and the guys actually changed the scene. They understood how it might come off, and so they re-wrote it. Of course, they also wrote me OUT of the episode completely (which I didn't find out until I drove all the way to Santa Monica. Oops!) ...so that was a bummer, BUT let's call it a victory, because now there will be one less fat joke on the internet.

But then last night, I saw that some guy posted a comment about me being fat and homely on www.bitterlawyer.com (Living the Dream episode 6 -YALE). Homely? That hurts.

And THEN I got a casting notice from some Comedy Central show... they send you specific notices based on your profile...and this was the listing:

"OBESE WOMAN NEEDED TO APPEAR IN A SKETCH COMEDY SHOW WITH SHIRT OFF, WEARING BRA."

REALLY? SERIOUSLY? Okay, Universe. I hear you! I'm going to the fucking gym! Get off me already.

Yeah, I'm gonna start going to the gym. For realz. But first, I'm probably gonna submit my headshot for that show. Because hey, it's Comedy Central. And I figure as long as the universe is shoving my phatness down my throat, maybe I should get paid for it.

Who's a hypocrite? Come on, raise your hands with me!
