We return from a few months away with a home run - The incomparable Rachel Bloom joined us here at Comedy Girl Crush. Rachel is ironically unironically a triple threat; singer, dancer, and actor. Well, a quadruple threat really, because she's a hell of a comedy writer. I say ironically unironically because one of Rachel's greatest strengths is her ability to see herself truthfully. She pokes fun at herself, but she is legitimately talented. Her albums are very well produced; anyone not listening to the lyrics might think they were listening to the latest Top 40 hit.
In her writing, she excels at the juxtaposition of cheerful optimism and dark reality. This could be one of the many reasons she was chosen to write on the Adult Swim staple, Robot Chicken.
Check out her website here: http://www.racheldoesstuff.com/. You can see her videos on Cracked, College Humor, Funny or Die, YouTube, etc.
