Writer, actor and stand-up comedian Fielding Edlow is one of those triple threats you read about: her solo show Coke-Free J.A.P. killed at the NYC Fringe Festival and was developed as a half-hour pilot for Showtime. Her plays have been finalists with the O’Neill Playwrights Conference, Actors Theatre of Louisville and City Theatre. She voices the recurring character ‘Roxie’ on BoJack Horseman and just created and starred in her web series Bitter Homes and Gardens. She also hosts a monthly stand-up show—Eat, Pray, Fuck—the third Friday of every month in LA.
Edlow may be such a go-getter because she comes from the land of go-getters: New York City. And she carries some pride about this fact. This means that whenever she meets someone who says they're from New York and she speculates or intuits that they're from a suburb of New York or New Jersey (or in fact lived in Manhattan but didn't grow up there), she feels a seething rage. What could this have to do with the fact that she felt her mother favored her younger brother? As it turns out, everything.
