Episode notes

Abby wrote and played Abby on Broad City, who is Abby but more of an amplified exaggerated version of Abby. Do you ever get confused about which one is you? I think that when we were ending the show, it was Alana and I both feeling like we needed to know ourselves,. That was sort of why when we wanted it to end on a high note, where we felt it was really still great.

1. How to know when it’s time to get out or stick it out – and the quit that set Abbi on course to meet Ilana and create Broad City.

2. The life lessons of improv comedy: How to get out of your head, trust your choices, and make something together.

3. Abbi and Abby share similar but opposite stories about relationships that changed their lives (and whether to tuck or untuck shirts).

4. Why reimagining A League of Their Own was the Next Right project for Abbi – and how its label as a “queer show” frustrates her.
