Catch Up with Michelle Buteau

Comedian Michelle Buteau shares her experiences and insights on parenting, comedy, and societal issues in a recent interview. Buteau, known for her Netflix series "Survival of the Thickest" and her stand-up specials, discusses the challenges and joys of raising her twins while balancing her career. She emphasizes the importance of humor in navigating the complexities of motherhood and societal expectations, noting that laughter serves as a vital outlet during difficult times.

The conversation also touches on broader themes, including the current political climate and the need for honest discussions about identity and inclusivity. Buteau expresses her belief that art and comedy can foster understanding and connection, urging audiences to embrace diverse narratives and experiences. As she prepares for her upcoming performance in Dublin, Buteau reflects on the significance of live comedy, encouraging people to experience the energy of a show in person rather than just through screens.

Buteau's candid approach to topics such as gender identity and societal pressures resonates with many, as she advocates for love and acceptance in parenting and beyond. Her upcoming tour promises to deliver a unique blend of humor and heartfelt storytelling, inviting audiences to join her in celebrating life's complexities.

I'm a huge fan of comedian Michelle Buteau so was delighted to catch up with her ahead of her gig in The Ambassador Theatre next month. Michelle is the creator and star of Survival of the Thickest on Netflix which is also the home to two of her standup specials. She. Is. GAS. And smart. And everything you want a comedian to be.
