Everyone’s talking about:


Bridget Everett
Although she has been a much-loved
eccentric fixture on the New York comedy
circuit for years, UK audiences may only recognise
Bridget Everett from her cameos on the likes of Girls,
Trainwreck and Inside Amy Schumer (the duo have been
friends for more than a decade). Now the 49-year-old
is having her crossover moment, with a new HBO
drama-comedy loosely based on her own life landing on Sky
Comedy next month. Somebody Somewhere (above) is a
“coming-of-middle-age” story about a woman (Everett) who
moves back to her Midwestern home town following the death
of her sister. Indie kings Mark and Jay Duplass are executive
producers and the critics are already banging on about it, no doubt
in part because it’s such a pivot for Everett, who is known for her
OTT cabaret shows — think half-empty bottles of chardonnay,
songs about boobs and the occasional motorboating of an
audience member. Where do we buy tickets?

Do I need ... a bouji bathmat?
Yes, even the rag you dry your feet on is getting an Instagram
revamp. Blame it on the booming #bathscaping industry or our
post-lockdown obsession with all things “towelling”, but a wave of
indie brands are giving the humble bathmat their full attention.
See the artsy creations by labels such as Proba and Studio Cyl;
there’s even a waiting list for the bathmats by Cold Picnic. Yes, we
live in a bathmat waiting list world now.
