I’ve been lucky enough to be in all four seasons of “Documentary Now,” the amazing anthology series produced by Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, and Fred Armisen, and directed by Alex Buono and Rhys Thomas. Each episode parodies a different documentary.

On October 19, their newest season will premiere with their two-episode take on “Burden of Dreams,” the documentary about director Werner Herzog making “Fitzcarraldo.” The hilarious new spoof is called “Soldier of Illusion,” stars Alexander Skarsgard, Nicholas Braun, and Fred Armisen, and was written by John Mulaney.

If you’ve seen “Burden of Dreams” you’ll have heard a very distinctive female narrator, Candace Laughlin. If you watch “Soldier of Illusion,” you’ll hear my narration take on her brilliant delivery.

Check out IFC and AMC+ starting October 19 for the newest installments of the always amazing “Documentary Now!” Here’s the trailer for the season (which will also include Cate Blanchett and a wild take on “My Octopus Teacher”!):

So thrilled to be included in the inaugural Festival of New Plays at South Dakota State University! My play “The Escape Thingy” will have two reading performances: Sept 22 and 23.

The festival “celebrates the work of emerging playwrights while offering opportunities for students and the audience to engage in the development of new works.” I’m honored to be included alongside playwrights Caridad Svich, Amy Tofte, and Kristen Benjamin.

In “The Escape Thingy,” two very different couples meet in an "Escape Room" game night, each needing very different types of escape. The clock is literally ticking as they attempt to solve the puzzles, decide what reality to believe, and weigh the risks of unlocking the door to the dangerous world outside.

Can’t wait to visit Brookings and work with the director and cast there! For more info, click here.

Please join me for the final “Says You!” tapings for live audiences in Seattle, WA on Thursday Sept 8 and San Francisco, CA on Saturday Sept 10!

This NPR comedy/trivia show has been beloved for 25 years, and producer Laura Sher has arranged these final two tapings in two of the cities that have loved us best. I’m honored to be sharing the stage with the Says You! All-Stars, including Carolyn Faye Fox, Murray Horwitz, Barry Nolan, Joyce Kulhawik, and Tony Kahn!

In Seattle, we’ll be performing/recording at the recently renovated Town Hall starting at 6:30 pm on 9/8. Seats still available HERE!

In San Francisco, look for us at the beautiful Herbst Theatre at 5:00 p.m on 9/10. Seats still available HERE!

Hope to see you there (but if you can’t make it, you can always find the edited shows in a month or so, wherever you find your podcasts, or at SaysYou.net)!

I’m excited to narrate the double-episode premiere of this fantastic, hilarious show. (And the creators, producers, directors, and cast of “Documentary Now!” are also some of the nicest people in this biz.) Check it out Oct 19 on IFC and AMC+!

Happy to be working, acting in a few very different projects. Shhh, details to come, but they are exciting!

(Gotta snap the trailer door!)

Look for me in the new Starz horror/comedy “Shining Vale” starring Courteney Cox! It’s a very funny script from creator/writers Jeff Astrof and Sharon Horgan. The show premieres Sunday March 6, and I’ll be in Episode 2 (also airing that night). Here’s a screengrab from the trailer, of me sitting with the talented Sherilyn Fenn, Eva La Dare, and Beth Curry (Courteney’s back is to the camera here). Check it out on Starz!

With amazing percussion from Jonathan Feinberg and recording production artistry from Raffi at AF Records, please enjoy the new recording of a song I wrote many years ago, “The Poppyseed Bread (Made a Hole in the Ground).” It will take literally two minutes.

It was so fun to pull these harmonies together for this silliness. And who doesn’t need a bit of silliness right about now?
