Funny Human of the Week returns with another hugely funny human! This week we’re talking about Cole Escola, a New York City-based writer/performer/self-described “character actress trapped in the body of a teenage boy.” Let’s get started, his solo character work is aces, here’s a clip of him as a Tennessee Williams inspired Southern baby:
That baby’s seen some things, right? Here’s another short clip, where he stars as a fun and flirty Bernadette Peters getting help with her taxes.
Cole also regularly uploads videos in-character as Joyce, a twitchy middle aged New Yorker with an endless supply of quirks and hot takes.
More Joyce! She makes a new friend in this one!
Cole is super funny on Twitter. He’s one of my favorite recent follows. So mean and precise and hilarious.
If you love Etsy but it’s not quite suffocating enough for you, come to Portland!
