June day Romeoville, Illois, a small town outsi Chigo, an HBO crew ran to an unexpected obstacle: smoke billowg om a crematorium. The new seri “Somebody Somewhere” was shootg at a funeral home, and the fum had fltered a lightg guy. After a few tak, another btive force entered the room. “No. 1 is here,” the assistant director announced. “Everybody be on your bt behavr.” No. 1 on the ll sheet was Bridget Everett, the forty-ne-year-old edian, volist, and, as she lik to scribe herself, “regnally regnized baret sger.” Everett is the star of “Somebody Somewhere,” which premièr this month and is largely based on her life and her home town of Manhattan, Kansas.</p><p class="paywall">Everett is not known for stayg on her bt behavr, or even her better behavr. In her live shows, which she and her band, the Tenr Moments, perform regularly at Joe’s Pub, the baret arm of the Public Theatre, she prowls the dience skimpy, outrageo outfs, guzzlg Chardonnay om a bottle and buryg spectators’ fac her bosom. Tradnally, she ends the show by pickg a man out of the crowd and stg on his face.</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-un__slot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">Everythg about Everett is large: her pip (she studied operatic voice llege), her libido, her stage prence, and her body, which she as geligne to spark a crowd to a willg enzy. In a signature song, she belts, “What I gotta do to get that dick my mouth?” and then mak everyone sg along. She talks about sloppy sex, havg abortns after sloppy sex, gettg blackout dnk, the many varieti of “tti,” her genalia, her parents’ genalia, her dience members’ genalia—but ’s all too joyful to feel pecially transgrsive. Her blowsy sexualy is ls a weapon than an vatn to feel as unhibed as she do. Years ago, durg a phone terview—she lled me om a nu beach, where she was hangg out wh Amy Schumer—she scribed her stage persona as “a crazy maniac who don’t get laid enough, so I have to put my sexual energy somewhere.” In her 2015 Comedy Central special, “Gynelogil Wonr,” Everett lurch to the dience, trickl a glass of water over a spectator’s bald head, then thsts her fgers to his mouth, sgg, “I’m g for you.”</p><p class="paywall">The alternative-baret scene is not a typil route to stardom, but Everett has plenty of fluential admirers. Patti LuPone once stood up mid-show at Joe’s Pub and yelled, “There is <em>no one</em> like you.” She later ved Everett to duet wh her at Carnegie Hall, and the two are now velopg a Broadway double act lled “Knockouts.” Schumer featured Everett on her sketch show “Insi Amy Schumer” and took her on edy tours, not as an openg act but as a closg one. “I uld not follow her,” Schumer told me. Onstage, Everett drifts om meanrg, half-melancholy tal about her dysfunctnal childhood (her mother is a reverg alholic, and her father was largely absent) to sensuo power ballads. She’s a hot ms who has utter ntrol over a room.</p><p class="paywall">“Somebody Somewhere” has required Everett to close Pandora’s box, only to open aga by gre. She plays a more whdrawn versn of herself named Sam, a would-be diva trapped small-town Ameri. She had e to the funeral-home set her pacy as an executive producer. A crew guy asked her to choose between two baggi of fake pot gummi, one orange and red and the other green and yellow. The next day, she would film a scene which her iends meet for poker and edibl. “I lean toward the,” she said, choosg the orange and red. When a shownner told her about the crematorium lay, she let out a hoot. “Oh, my God,” she said. “Jt a day the life.”</p><p class="paywall">After watchg a few tak, she troduced me to the cematographer, a woman. “Back the old days, you’d say, ‘I like havg that psy power behd the mera,’ but now you’d jt say, ‘I like havg that feme energy,’ ” Everett said wh a lgh, then head out to the parkg lot. She wore a black tank top wh a hoodie tied around her waist. The hoodie was prted wh a big lightng bolt, to match her lightng-bolt necklace and tote bag. The emblem, she told me, was spired by the self-help slogan “Dreams don’t have adl,” popularized by LL Cool J. “It’s a remr to fuck’ seize , make unt,” she said. “Real fuck’ chey.” Another necklace had “No. 1” spelled out pavé diamonds. “It’s not every work that’s llg up a perimenopsal woman who sgs baret to do a TV show,” she said. “You gotta celebrate the moments.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">Everett directed her driver to a weed dispensary Naperville, for some actual edibl to get her through the shoot. Sce the real Kansas don’t have much filmmakg astcture, the producers had found the area clost to Chigo that looked most like Kansas, and we drove past rnfields, strip malls, and gas statns. But Everett had brought a chunk of the New York avant-gar wh her. The shownners, Hannah Bos and Pl Thureen, are -founrs of the Brooklyn-based theatre pany the Debate Society, and Sam’s iend Fred Ro is played by the drag kg Murray Hill, who drs like a dandyish ed-r salman and bills himself as “the harst-workg middle-aged man show bs.” Everett and a few -stars were stayg at a rented hoe that they lled the Dg Dong Dorm.</p><p class="paywall">Insi the dispensary, which was l up wh neon signs, smooth jazz played. A guy readg a Hunter S. Thompson book checked Everett’s I.D. and poted her toward a row of touch-screen men. She scrolled through flavors: black cherry, pumpk pie. “Bnch?” she read. “Fuck no.” She chose two packets of “sparklg whe grape” gummi (“We jt did them the other night, and was <em>so</em> fun”) and a flavor lled Snoozzzeberry, to help her sleep.</p><figure class="AssetEmbedWrapper-eVDQiB byBkf asset-embed"><div class="AssetEmbedAssetContaer-eJxoAx dBHGoQ asset-embed__asset-ntaer"><span

She worshipped Debbie Harry and Freddie Mercury and told filthy jok. Teachers would chastise her for beg “too much.” “It kept me om gettg the big parts the mils and all that sh,” she said. (She’s still bter over losg the lead “42nd Street.”) As a teen-ager, she partied hard. “I remember gog down to Aggieville—I believe was Brothers Tavern,” Brock relled. “She was unrage, or might have been on the cp. I said, ‘Where’s Bridget?’ Someone poted over to a pile of ats, and there were Bridget’s feet stickg out.”</p><p class="paywall">Her antics ma her popular enough that she was named homeg queen. Neverthels, she felt like an outsir her nservative town. She wanted to go to Arizona State Universy, part bee was known as a party school, and she knew that her ticket was her mezzo-soprano: “I had a really big voice, but was a ltle wild. Kd of like me, I gus.” She dned wh Italian art songs and got to the classil-voice program. When she arrived at school, though, she realized that matag her stment meant no drkg or smokg. “I was, like, I don’t want to live life like a nun,” she said. “Instead of beg an A stunt and excellg, I was jt, like, a B stunt and havg fun. But I still didn’t really know how to sg a way that I nnected to.”</p><p class="paywall">After graduatn, she stuck around the Phoenix area and worked as a wars at the origal P. F. Chang’s. The rtrant was a hangout for Charl Barkley and other pro athlet, and Everett got gigs sgg the natnal anthem at baseball gam. But she knew that her operatic voice wasn’t strong enough for a reer. “I was, like, Well, I gus I’m jt gog to be a wars,” she said. “I hope that you like beg on your feet, Bridget, bee this is .” Ocsnally, she would go out to karaoke bars, where she’d jump on the bar and rip off her shirt. “Bee I didn’t have the money not, I had to do somethg else,” she said. “And that’s where the ts me .”</p><p class="paywall">Everett moved to New York 1997, at twenty-six, wh no plan, no money, and no prospects. She got her Equy rd dog a b-and-tck children’s-theatre tour of “Hansel and Gretel,” but she was miserable: “I was, like, I moved to New York to sg for send grars fuckg Mississippi, gettg them to tell Hansel to jump over the river, which was, like, a piece of rdboard wh some blue taffeta?” She’d been raised Republin (“Meanwhile, I was, like, ‘Give me all the abortns I n have’ ”) but quickly beme a Democrat. She waed tabl at Ruby Foo’s. Audng terrified her to the pot of digtn, so she did ltle of , while her roommate Zach Shaffer land parts on Broadway.

Everett beme a ont-row groupie, and Mellman, the acpanist, ved her to perform at a variety night where he was playg. But her ma outlet was karaoke, which she and a group of iends performed every Sunday night at the Parlour, a pub on Wt Eighty-sixth Street. Everett’s go-to numbers were “Piece of My Heart” and Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” “We drank a lot there, bee the bartenr was our iend,” Shaffer said. “I thk we all had sex wh people the bathroom.” Everett’s numbers would crcendo wh her crawlg across the bar wh a Big Gulp-size vodka-soda. “Progrsively, the karaoke at the Parlour beme more of a show for her,” Shaffer said.</p><p class="paywall">By 2006, Shaffer was datg Jason Eagan, a producer at the Hell’s Kchen performance space Ars Nova, where he is now the artistic director, and Shaffer took him to one of his karaoke nights wh Everett. “We walked to the Parlour, and she was standg on the bar barefoot sgg ‘What’s Up,’ the 4 Non Blons song,” Eagan relled. “The performance she was givg was so much bigger than the room that was happeng .

Everett performed a rnchy origal song lled “Canhole” to an dience of dtry people and fancy lol women wearg wboy hats. “Half the dience left, and the half that stayed gave her a standg ovatn,” Kg said. “I thought, Well, there’s a star.

She and Mellman replaced her karaoke vers wh origal songs, while Kg, like an Olympic ach, tght her how to stand still and how to polish an anecdote. Everett nicknamed him Hollywood.

Kg gave her a small part the “Sex and the Cy” movie, as a dnk woman who terviews to be Carrie’s assistant, but even he uldn’t land her a breakout role. “Development executiv would say, ‘We thk Bridget’s the next Roseanne,’ ” he relled. “And I thought, Bridget’s the next Bridget!”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">Everett was too rock and roll for Broadway, too bawdy for ncert halls, and too mil for standup edy.

But, ntrast to her own act, she don’t see Everett’s as polilly poted. “Her show is such an pe,” she went on. “I fely thk I wouldn’t have felt empowered to lift up my drs and show my pregnant belly whout her fluence.” A bewilred Larry Kg once asked Everett durg an terview, “You have a lot of body nfince, right?” But Everett don’t grandstand about self-teem or standards of bety, as many of her ntemporari do; her ease her own sk is liberatn enough.</p><p class="paywall">In 2008, Everett, Mellman, and the performance artist Neal Medlyn started “Our H Para,” a monthly live seri at Joe’s Pub, which the tr and gut performers reterpreted Top Forty songs.

The seri helped lnch such downtown performers as Cole Esla, Er Markey, and Molly Pope. By 2012, though, the three -hosts were squabblg. “We weren’t really gettg along, and jt wasn’t fun anymore,” Everett said.

Midway through the n of “Rock Bottom,” she lled her manager to put a shift requt, and the woman said, “Are you sure you want to e back ?” That night, Everett announced onstage that she had qu warsg, and she got a huge standg ovatn.

Amazon released the first episo, to good reviews, but cled to pick up. “I have never plead harr than I did to those Amazon executiv,” Kg said. “I remember them tellg me that ‘men didn’t rpond to her,’ ” although women’s rpons were “ ‘through the roof.’ I said, ‘If you give me one more episo, all those men will love her, bee she’ll be the person they want to go drkg wh.’ ” But they were hung up on the mographic data and wouldn’t budge.
