| As Deadline first reported this morning, comedian Shannon Fiedler announced her first stand-up special, Thirty, Flirty & Crying. The dynamic hour of humor, delivered with the social media star’s trademark wit, enthusiasm, and spot-on understanding of what makes millennials laugh out loud, will be released on September 25 via YouTube. |
| Directed by Laura Lucchetti and Executive Produced by Jayme Yarow, this female-run production is a smart and sometimes silly exploration of what it means to be a woman who’s recently turned that number after 29. With riffs on such universal topics as the horrors of dating, the pressures of ordering the right wine, and the inherent dangers of using public restrooms, Shannon strikes multiple chords with both male and female fans alike. The overarching theme of, “I’m too young to be this old,” informs the hour, as Shannon shares glimpses of the path that has led her to being the very funny, and utterly likable woman she is still in the process of becoming. On her debut comedy special, Fiedler shares “This special is something I’ve been working on for literal years, and I’m so excited to finally put it out into the world. Most of my fans have found me through social media, and so, many of them have never seen my stand up. In fact, I think a lot of them might not even know that I do it! While the themes and point of view of this show are similar to my videos, Thirty, Flirty & Crying is a much more personal exploration of the topics I’m always riffing on. Stand up is a place where I’m not taking on characters, but am instead sharing my own stories and opinions — and as a result, connecting with my audience even more. I can’t wait for people to see this other facet of my comedy and to share this show — and a lot of laughter — with all of you!” Founder of production company Hoff Studios, Thirty, Flirty & Crying Director Laura Lucchetti is notoriously adamant about female representation in the industry and this special is no different for her. She adds “Shannon is a star. I’m thrilled to be directing this special. Women are magnificent, it’s important to have representation in front and behind the camera as well as above and below the line. The crew for this project was a majority female from top to bottom which we are extremely proud of.” In addition to Thirty, Flirty & Crying, Fiedler will perform live in New York and Washington, DC to celebrate the release.
