The Story
As female content creators and comedians, we wanted to showcase both the honest, heartfelt moments and the comedic minutia in a strong female friendship. We set out to create likeable, well-rounded characters, both with strengths and weaknesses, that audiences can identify with. As the great comedians before us have said, there is truth in comedy, so our goal is to find the funny in familiar moments, exacerbating the hilarity with strong relationships and strong characters. Our series is about the power of having someone to rely on, not only when the world seems to be crumbling down but more so when it isn’t.
