In January, the network (and its streaming platform, HBO Max) will debut Somebody Somewhere, an original comedy starring and executive produced by Everett which is inspired by her own life. Maybe you saw her as the gorgon mother in the Sundance indie hit Patti Cake$. ![]() Maybe you know Everett from her scene-stealing turns on Inside Amy Schumer. Over the years, she’s been frank about pushing forward on her performing dreams while waiting tables. It’s taken the wider public some time to pick up what Everett is putting down. Everett, whose raucous shows have dotted (or maybe splotched) the cabaret and comedy calendars of the city for years, is a performer (singer, comic, fire hazard) whose raw verve needs to be seen to be believed, a no-bullshit chanteuse of original songs like “Titties.” (“Put ’em in the air!”) Beastie Boy Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz collaborated on her shows so did Hairspray music-and-lyricists Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Those of us in New York have long known that the world needs more Bridget Everett.
