Interview: Rachel Bloom Chats About Awards Campaigning, Comedy, and ‘Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Special’

Rachel Bloom is about as talented an actress and comedian as it gets. Watch just a few minutes of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and you’ll see that. However, when you watch her musical comedy special, with the ingenious title of Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Special, you’ll see that she has so much more on her mind. It’s a deceptively ambitious work, which made a chat with her something I was very keen to do. Recently, we hopped on Zoom for upwards of a half hour, getting into all manner of things. Today, I’m thrilled to present that back and forth with you all!

Below, you can hear my conversation with Bloom. She was very generous with her time, so we just pretty much had a chat. We talk about awards campaigning from a number of angles, comedy in general, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and obviously her special. She’s wonderfully frank, easy to talk to, and I think the discussion reflects that in full. Rachel Bloom: Death, Let Me Do My Special is currently streaming on Netflix, so if you get the chance, definitely check it out…
