On this week’s Afternoon Tea, Sami is joined by comedian and writer Blaire Erskine, who gained popularity making satirical Twitter videos in response to prominent right-wing political figures. They start with Blaire’s upbringing in a small town in South Georgia, how she became more politically involved once she moved to Atlanta, and her thoughts on the Georgia elections. Next, they talk about her early comedy career in improv and standup comedy before going viral overnight with her parody video of Dan Maples' wife, and how she comes up with these skits. They also talk about pandemic puppies and weddings, their TV binge list, and Blaire’s next career move in writing for TV. Finally, it’s time for the Four Questions, which leads to a conversation about Blaire winning an Audience Choice Award for her short film about forbidden love featuring sock puppets.
