Episode Details

Edi Patterson has spent a lifetime collecting weirdos. Before unleashing Judy Gemstone into the world - one of the funniest characters of all-time - Edi explains to Dan how she grew up impersonating the unforgettable characters who filled her childhood home in Texas and realized early on that making people laugh was her life's calling. Edi also shares how six months in a hotel while creating “The Righteous Gemstones” nearly drove her mad and why the best comedy only happens when you stop being self-conscious and simply "let it rip". Edi is currently performing in her one-woman stage show called, “Playgirl”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
