## Resource

This week, Becky sits down with one of the funniest human beings on the planet: actress and improv comedy queen Edi Patterson (The Righteous Gemstones, Knives Out). Edi reflects on collaborating with Danny McBride to create her now-iconic portrayal of Judy Gemstone on their acclaimed HBO Max series, and shares how she discovered her love of performing while growing up in Texas. She also dives into the craft of improv comedy and the profound influence it's had on her life and career, but first Edi and Becky pay tribute to one of their heroes, the incomparable and iconic Catherine O’Hara.
