You're Making It Worse

About You're Making It Worse

Although performing stand-up comedy was what initially united Eliot, Brent, and H. Alan over 10 years ago, it’s their openness (and sense of humor) about feeling totally lost and disconnected from the gay community that’s truly bonded them. On YMIW, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan get down and dirty, exploring the good, bad, and ugly tropes of contemporary gay life, often the stuff that no one -- especially straight people -- discuss for fear of being labeled homophobic. (Don’t worry. They’ll do that for you.) Each episode features a special guest -- comedians, humorists, musicians, influencers, film/TV writers, journalists, politicians, etc. - as well as allies, enemies, and acquaintances from all backgrounds and professions, not just those in the public eye. And as white, urban-dwelling gay dudes in their thirties, Eliot, Brent and H. Alan check their own privilege at the door, eager to instead explore what life looks for those not afforded the same concessions.

[…] They gathered us all together. I remember we were in the, we were like walking from our trailers to set. People were like, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson are in Australia and they have COVID-19 coronavirus. It was so scary when they got it. It was terrifying. And we all were like, there are, there's a zombie apocalypse and we're terrified. But then our showrunners were like, we're taking two weeks off and like, we'll keep you guys posted.
