Carly Montag
Hi, welcome and hello! If it’s your first time here - I’m glad you’ve joined! If you’ve been here for a while - welcome back! Either way, kick off your shoes, and relax! The weather has cooled off a little, and the windows are open with the breeze blowing in. The late-summer downswing is working its way out, and we’re almost to the sweet, sweet relief of Fall.
I had brunch this morning with one of my favorite professors from college and it was exactly as refreshing and rejuvenating as you’re imagining. Sometimes it takes someone who knew you back then, to remind you to loosen the hell up and smile. Anyhow, afterwards, I saw this on the sidewalk, so all in all, a great Sunday I think.
Carly Montag
Have you all met Carly Montag? Because she’s probably just the coolest standup comedian around. Based in Brooklyn, Carly cohosts / coproduces (with Marisa Riley and Emily Walsh) a standup show called Isn’t She Funny, which includes “a dude-free lineup.” The show is every Monday and every fourth Thursday (deets below!)
Carly has also been featured in a lot of festivals, including the She-Devil Comedy Festival, Laughing Devil Comedy Festival, Midwest Queer Comedy Festival, and the Cape Fear Comedy Festival. You can check out Carly’s upcoming shows at her website and can see some of her standup here Carly is one of the funniest and hardest-working comedians out there, and you should definitely check out some of her stuff.

News Brief I Guess
You guys! Disney Plus (whatever the fuck that is) announced that Lizzie McGuire is being rebooted with a 30 year old Lizzie, starring queen of millennials, Hillary Duff!
THIS. IS. NOT. A. DRILL.
At the Disney Plus D23 Event (again, what are these words?) in Anaheim on Friday, Duff said, “Lizzie has also grown up, she’s older, she’s wiser, she has a much bigger shoe budget. She has her dream job, the perfect life right now working as an apprentice to a fancy New York City decorator.”
I’m glad Lizzie is thirty, flirty, and thriving. I can’t wait to catch up with her. Google says it won’t premier “until after November 12, 2019,” which is both extremely vague and specific.
