#255: Riki Lindhome - You are not a loser

Riki Lindhome is an Emmy nominated actress as well as a comedian,
musician/ songwriter, writer, producer and director. Her
wonderful career includes roles in acclaimed films such as
‘Knives Out’ and ‘Under the Silverlake’ and major hit shows
‘Wednesday’, ‘The Big Bang Theory’, ‘Brooklyn 99’, and most
recently ‘The Muppets Mayhem’. She is one half of Garfunkel and
Oates, her musical comedy duo with Kate Micucci, and she is also
the co-creator and showrunner of the TV series ‘Another Period’
which aired on Comedy Central and was produced by Red Hour–Ben
Stiller’s production company.


Additionally, Riki is an Emmy-nominated songwriter, and has
contributed to animated movies and TV shows such as The Lego
Movie 2 and the Spongebob Movie. She will appear as Maud in the
upcoming horror film ‘They Listen’ by Blumhouse films later in
2024.


She will also be performing at Edinburgh her new show “Dead
Inside”. Dead Inside is a poignant mix of true stories and silly
songs about Riki’s personal and tumultuous journey into
motherhood. Offering a fresh perspective on the still-very-much
taboo subjects of infertility and surrogacy, this is Riki’s first
foray into solo comedy performance, usually performing alongside
Kate Micucci as Garfunkel and Oates. Tickets are on sale

We chat about the ups and downs of the industry, sending
postcards to casting directors, the wild journey around having
her child and how this will be in her new Edinburgh shows,
rejection, her favourite song of hers, full circle moments,
Another Period, meeting Kate Micucci & forming Garfunkel and
Oates, how her YouTube page blew up, changing strategies, show
running plus plenty more…
