Good on Paper

...a catfishing (or cuttlefishing, if you take Margot’s definition) comedy I’m sure more than a few people can relate to...

...as an exercise combining stand-up comedy and narrative storytelling to process emotional trauma, Iliza Shlesinger has written something that’s both broad and profound.

Andrea is a complex, funny, weird, and yes, messy character, and Shlesinger’s resistance to buffering over her prickly bits is the best thing about “Good on Paper.”

Comedian Iliza Shlesinger writes her own star-vehicle ticket — and mines a real-life experience — as stand-up comic who gets romantically gaslit by a grifter.
