Taxidermy Church

My name is Alison Bennett and I'm a comedy writer and actress -- but this Tumblr is mostly sparkly stuff.

E-mail me if your wedding colors include Grey... Gardens.

My sister, Erin, made these cupcakes tonight! My mom, Grandma and I teamed up to buy her a Kitchenaid mixer for Christmas so I am glad it is bringing out her inner Jim Henson. And before someone rolls their eyes about cupcakes and cake shows and what BAKING is doing to America: my sister has been a weirdo about cakes since about 1989. There was a Reading Rainbow episode about cake decorating and I have vivid memories of her being OBSESSED with it. We’re a very enthusiastic family, so for it to stick out in my mind means it was some next level excitement. I always say that television networks should pay close attention to Erin’s viewing habits because she has been on the ground floor of EVERY SINGLE shitty reality genre. Cake decorating shows. Trading Spaces. Hour-long specials about little people. Erin loved all that stuff (and tortured me with all of it) before they dedicated whole networks to it. ERIN BENNETT IS AMERICA

If Petunia doesn’t show up to the Pete & Pete reunion show, I’m going to flip. The show reportedly sold out in five minutes today, but thanks to my diligent and thoughtful husband, we scored tickets (as did my fellow Pete & Pete super-fans Ramsey, Mo, Adam and Frank). I know it’s corny and nostalgic, but as I mentioned on Facebook today, I wish I could travel back in time and tell my third grade self, “Hey, girl, not only will you see Pee-wee from the second row of a Broadway theater, in NEW YORK CITY, your HOME, you’re going to be in the same room with Artie, the Strongest Man in the World, and the rest of the Pete & Pete gang.  WITH TWO DELINEATED EYEBROWS.”

“ First, brainy writers Matt Moskovciak and Ben Stadler present this intricate and funny sketch show inside of a sketch show, about ostensibly renting out the UCBT to a couple looking for an apartment. Then, in an attempt to unleash all of her pent-up anger, the disgruntled Sue Smith takes comic revenge on the audience.

This Is Not a Sketch Show: A Sketch Show Minimum Rage - Time Out New York

This Is Not A Sketch Show: A Sketch Show  is a TONY critics’ pick!  Very proud to be a part of this cast, as always.
