Girls on Guys is a dating and relationship horror stories podcast hosted by comedians Nina Tarr and Liam Cullagh. Each episode features a different broad aka female guest, who does their best to steer Liam away from the embarrassing mistakes he (and most men) make by sharing their own strange encounters with the male species.
This week, the multi-talented Bridey Elliott, who is a director, actress, and writer.
Discover her latest film, Mirror Party, which premiered at Sundance, as we delve into the themes of self-discovery through romantic relationships. They also indulge in some lighthearted conspiracy theories, including whether the Kardashians use Photoshop on their children’s photos. Is it acceptable to judge your partner based on their friends? We debate this topic. Additionally, they explore the topic of shame and its potential benefits. Liam and Nina share their opinions on PDA and widowhood, respectively, while Bridey entertains us with her amusing Ayahuasca journey.

Liam Cullagh: This comedian has mastered the game of spinning normal characters and situations into absurd and twisted ones. His comedy sketches have amassed hundreds of thousands of online views and when there isn’t a global pandemic he performs standup comedy in Boston. From reenacting a college guy who didn’t get balloons for his 21st birthday to creating mockumentary about a spiritual retreat just for guys, he has encapsulated a generation of humor.
This Week’s Special Guest:
Bridey Elliott: Indie darling Bridey Elliott is known for her dry, offbeat sense of humor, which she deftly translates on both sides of the lens. She honed her comedy chops performing stand-up and sketch at UCB while studying filmmaking at Brooklyn College and working at the famous Kim’s Video (known for being a starting ground for future filmmakers).
Ever the multi-hyphenate, Bridey frequently writes and acts in her directorial projects, including her comedic short “Affections,” and her debut feature, “Clara’s Ghost,” which both debuted in their respective years at the Sundance Film Festival. Each film showcases Bridey’s penchant for experimentation and genre-blending; “Affections” is an awkward comedy/drama that zooms in on the destructive behavior that occurs in a dead-end relationship, while “Clara’s Ghost” is a horror/comedy/drama focusing on a family embittered by their experience within the film industry.
Daughter of Chris Elliott, granddaughter of radio comedian Bob Elliott, and sister of SNL alum Abby Elliott, Bridey grew up virtually breathing comedy. Coming from American comedy royalty, her background has influenced her point of view as a self-described “actors’ director,” who enjoys the unpredictability of improv, and the play and nuance that springs from following actors’ instincts. In addition to her own work, Bridey’s other acting credits include “Silicon Valley,” “Battle of the Sexes,” “Mosaic,” and the SXSW Grand Jury Prize winner “Fort Tilden.”
