NYC-based comedian, filmmaker and actor Edy Modica’s debut comedy special, I’m Just Like You, And It Sucks is due for an exclusive release on VEEPS June 26, 2026 followed by a Fall 2026 wide release (details forthcoming).
Produced by Irony Point, the makers of I Think You Should Leave, Chris Fleming: Live at the Palace, and countless other instant comedy classics, the special was shot at The Slipper Room in NYC last summer, directed by Ben O’Brien with DP Alex Bliss and editor Danny Scharar.
Through unfiltered story telling, Edy Modica discusses her longing for human connection and all of the ways she’s contorted herself in search of it. Whether it be talking to stains on her aunt’s carpet, making out with a pair of brothers on a cruise in 2007, or talking to a stranger about his late girlfriend who died in a car accident, Edy will stop at nothing to feel and spread love to the world around her. Edy guides the audience through her life as an angry poor kid, a sexually deviant teen, all the way to where she is now: a poor yet a slightly famous, sexually deviant adult, with a passion for Human Connection.! Said Modica, “we are all insane, complex perverts which means none of us are! And isn’t that beautiful?!!?!”
Born and raised a New Yorker from Nyack to Bay Ridge to Ridgewood, Edy Modica is best known for her role in the Emmy Nominated comedy, Jury Duty in a performance that earned her a place in the The Hollywood Reporter’s list of 20 Supporting Actors Who Stole The Scene. She’s also one of Vultures ‘Comedians You Should and Will Know. As a creator, Edy was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s ‘25 New Faces of Film Independent Film 2022 for her debut short film NICOLE, a Vimeo Staff Pick which Edy is currently developing as a half hour comedy pilot for HBO. On the small screen, Edy has recurred on Apple’s SHRINKING, HBO Max’s MADE FOR LOVE, HBO’s HIGH MAINTENANCE, and Tracy Morgan’s multicam series CRUTCH for Paramount+. On the big screen, Edy can be seen in Shawn Simmons’s EENIE MEANIE starring Samara Weaving and recently wrapped on the Cameron Diaz star lead feature for Netflix, BAD DAY.
