Latest Obsession: Watching the Funny Girls TV Series


Funny Girls   Tuesdays 11:00 PM EST (check local listing for time)   Oxygen channel

From L to R: Calise Hawkins, Nicole Schreiber, Yamaneika Saunders, Ester Steinberg, Stephanie Simbari and Scout Durwood


I'm not a big realty show person but there are a few that catch my attention, case in point Funny Girls. I had been trying to find something new to watch and ended up seeing a commercial for this show a couple of days ago and since then I have marathon watched the first five episodes.

This show is crazy and hilarious mixed with a little bit of drama. It follows six up and coming L.A. comedians who are trying to make it big in entertainment. From snippets of their stand up acts to focusing on their personal lives, you get to see what motivates these ladies to succeed.  

What I like about Funny Girls is it's not about the glitz and glam side of Hollywood because these ladies are still in the process (although some have been doing this for years) of honing their craft and looking to get their big break and become household names.

It shows that being a comedian is not easy because sometimes the jokes don't go over well or they completely bomb altogether. So, I am looking forward to watching more of this show, maybe one of these ladies or all of them will become the next Tina Fey who knows but it's at least it will be interesting to see.
