Bridget Everett

Bridget Everett (born April 21, 1972) is an American comedian, actress, singer, writer, and cabaret performer. She began her career appearing and co-writing alongside Michael Patrick King the Off-Broadway musical comedy At Least It's Pink: A Trashy Little Show (2007). The following year she made her screen debut with a minor role in the romantic comedy film Sex and the City, also directed by King. She later performed on Inside Amy Schumer (2013–16), the comedy film Trainwreck (2015), and her own one-hour Comedy Central special Bridget Everett: Gynecological Wonder (2015). Everett has described herself as an "alt-cabaret provocateur". In 2017, Everett starred in three films: the comedy Fun Mom Dinner, the horror-comedy Little Evil, and the drama Patti Cake$. In 2021, she appeared in the comedy film Breaking News in Yuba County. In 2022, Everett began starring and executive producing the semi-autobiographical HBO comedy-drama series Somebody Somewhere, for which she earned a Television Critics Association Award for Individual Achievement in Comedy, a Peabody Award, and a nomination for a Primetime Emmy Award.
