Somebody Somewhere” has required Everett to close Pandora’s box, only to open it again by degrees. She plays a more withdrawn version of herself named Sam, a would-be diva trapped in small-town America. She had come to the funeral-home set in her capacity as an executive producer. A crew guy asked her to choose between two baggies of fake pot gummies, one orange and red and the other green and yellow. The next day, she would film a scene in which her friends meet for poker and edibles. “I lean toward these,” she said, choosing the orange and red. When a showrunner told her about the crematorium delay, she let out a hoot. “Oh, my God,” she said. “Just a day in the life.” The waist fits perfectly, and the legs are comfortable, but you still worry it’s too fitted around your thighs (as in, it’s snug like women’s jeans or when men wear skinny styles and you don’t want that look)? One June day in Romeoville, Illinois, a small town outside Chicago, an HBO crew ran into an unexpected obstacle: smoke billowing from a crematorium. The new series “Somebody Somewhere” was shooting at a funeral home, and the fumes had flustered a lighting guy. After a few takes, another combustive force entered the room. “No. 1 is here,” the assistant director announced. “Everybody be on your best behavior.” No. 1 on the call sheet was Bridget Everett, the forty-nine-year-old comedian, vocalist, and, as she likes to describe herself, “regionally recognized cabaret singer.” Everett is the star of “Somebody Somewhere,” which premières this month and is largely based on her life and her home town of Manhattan, Kansas.

These jeans stretch out too, but don’t require such a snug fit because the size expansion takes more wear and is limited. When trying, think tailored and close to the body, not snug like a stretchy style. When you buy a tighter size, the jeans stretch a small amount to conform to you body well, but when you buy a “comfortable” size they often stretch up to a whole size (or more) and end up too baggy. Having wrapped the first season of “Somebody Somewhere,” Everett was hovering between her old life and what might be a new kind of fame. She had spent much of the intervening months hiding out in her apartment. News of the Omicron variant had popped up days earlier, but no cases had yet been detected in the United States. Everett is a reach-out-and-touch-someone kind of performer, and she wondered how her act would work in the age of social distancing and tightened sexual boundaries. “The craziest thing is really just that I got through it, trying to navigate how to do audience interaction with the state of the world right now—and I mean that in a thousand different ways,” she said. She twirled a curling iron around her hair and contoured her cheeks, “to separate the quadrants on my face,” she said. “I like to give the appearance that I tried.”It’s the right size. Do a squat. Hold it down there 30 seconds. Come up & feel how the stretch opened the leg up. More often than not you’ll be in too big a size and looking like a boy who played in your dad’s closet. When you buy a stretchy jean that fits “comfortably”, it feels like the right choice at the moment, but you are buying the wrong size. Then Shaffer introduced her to the downtown cabaret scene, notably Kiki and Herb, the deranged lounge act performed by Justin Vivian Bond and Kenny Mellman. The duo were central to a burgeoning alt-cabaret movement, which defied the decorum of the Carlyle and other staid venues. Everett became a front-row groupie, and Mellman, the accompanist, invited her to perform at a variety night where he was playing. But her main outlet was karaoke, which she and a group of friends performed every Sunday night at the Parlour, a pub on West Eighty-sixth Street. Everett’s go-to numbers were “Piece of My Heart” and Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know.” “We drank a lot there, because the bartender was our friend,” Shaffer said. “I think we all had sex with people in the bathroom.” Everett’s numbers would crescendo with her crawling across the bar with a Big Gulp-size vodka-soda. “Progressively, the karaoke at the Parlour became more of a show for her,” Shaffer said. To sum, with wear and washing, all denim expands but doesn’t retract. The original shape is lost forever once stretched out.

Embrace the pain in the ass, but amazingly effective tool, that is alterations. Go here for some good NYC locals. One day this fall, I met Everett at her apartment, on the Upper West Side. The décor was retro glam: a hot-pink daybed, B-movie posters, and a neon flamingo by the door to a wraparound terrace, from which she sometimes spies Michael Moore on a terrace across the street. (“I see him out at night, doing his steps.”) Everett, in her lightning-bolt hoodie and tie-dye pants, sat in an armchair, clutching a throw pillow in the shape of a breast. She was mourning her Pomeranian, Poppy Louise, whose remains sat in an urn on the coffee table. “You’re basically in a pet cemetery,” she said.
