Kelly MacFarland! Comedian! Friend! Delight! More!
Kelly is a super funny comic who I've been friends with for most of my comedy career. She has a new special out now called "Hot Gnome," available to watch on YouTube and to listen to everywhere you can listen to things.
We have a great chat about it and lots of fun and meaningful things.
Here are some things about Kelly and the special from the official press release:
After spending over two decades perfecting her craft and losing both of her parents in the span of two years, Kelly MacFarland decided to self-fund her special with the goal of having total control. "Life is too short to not make something for yourself," she said. "I hope people who already like my stand-up think, 'Damn! This is the best she's ever been!' And folks that have never heard of me think, 'Damn! Where has she been all my life?'"
On Hot Gnome, Kelly shares what it's like to be an anxious person while celebrating the freedom and self-acceptance that comes with age. She also shares her thoughts on her husband's eating habits, critiques toothpicks as serving utensils, and admits she does not want to go hiking. She delivers a performance with best-friend energy, leaving you with the urge to grab a cocktail with her, or maybe just go full otter on the couch with some snacks. The comedy is bold, hilarious, and unexpectedly heartfelt.
Hot Gnome is available through Blonde Medicine starting April 17, everywhere comedy albums are streamed or downloaded. You can also check out the special on YouTube!
