That’s my friend Julia Wiedeman. She came over to make some pie with me.
We made mango pies, because I was reading that mangoes are in season.
That’s me eating some of the mango.
We added strawberries. They were selling for a dollar a pint at my local market, and it was too good a deal to pass up.
Julia is a writer and a performer here in New York City.
She wrote a show called NAKED PEOPLE. It’s currently playing at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater.
It’s a one woman sketch show. On top of being extremely funny, it’s very body positive.
Also, there’s the requisite amount of nudity you might expect from a show called NAKED PEOPLE.
I’ve seen Julia’s show, and it’s great. Super hilarious.
We had a shit-ton of fun in my kitchen, too.
We laughed and joked around, and talked about performing – about how you have to constantly shut out that voice inside your head that tells you you’re not good enough.
About how you hear your insecurities nagging at you, but you still get up, get your writing done, and get on stage anyway.
That’s some side boob.
I think Julia’s pretty inspiring. Her show is funny, sure, but it’s also socially forward, challenging, and just plain ballsy.
Her next performance is Thursday, April 12th, at 9:30pm at the Upright Citizen’s Brigade Theater.

The most interesting way to interview someone about performing and writing a show… Excellenté!
Love at first bite
The Paul Frank undies are not your best pair, but the pie sounds delish and you friend seems like a lot of fun. Hope her show is a hit.
