Aspiring & up-and-coming actors (as well as those homeschooling their artsy kids!): this one’s for you! @actortrade has invited me to participate in their “5-day Industry Leaders Panel” next week. Each day at 11am pacific, a different guest speaker will go live with them in the “Rehearsal & Self Tape Partners for Actors” Facebook Group. I’m scheduled for Thursday, though looks like a great line-up, so imagine that’s where I’ll be all week! Where else you gotta go?! #stayhome #virtual #panel #facebooklive #actorslife

I may whine that #covid_19 is THE WORST TIME to be an extreme extrovert, technophobe, news-junkie, living alone like me, but if I had kids??? THIS would be me! My 💜 goes out to all you moms & dads. Keep safe/sane!

#tbt (It is Thursday, right?) When I was a little girl, misbehaving (exhibit A: clearly tormenting my cousin), my mom used to threaten me: “BEHAVE OR I’LL GO TO MY ROOM!” 🤔 Because... she KNEW: TRAPPING ME ALONE IN MY ROOM would just be TOO CRUEL! 😭 This one goes out to all my fellow extroverts living alone right now. I feel you! 😬🤬😳😢🤯

What I wouldn’t do for a human hug right about now. 😢 #coronapocalypse #coronavirus #covid_19 #itsthelittlethings #americanhorrorstory #ahs #ahsedit #ahsfreakshow #pepper #sistermaryeunice #lilyrabe #allthefeels #imisspeople #ineedahug

Not being afraid that everyone around you is maybe a murderer? 🤯 Yah, I miss that too. #truthisstrangerthanfiction #realtalk #horrorstory #prophetic #pepper #ahs #meme #corona #coronavirus #covid19 #coronapocalypse

WHATCHA DOIN’ TONIGHT?! Oh, you’re trapped inside, like the rest of the world, watching TV? Then WATCH ME on Good Girls! Tonight, 10pm PST (check local listings) on NBC. I have a cute scene w/ Mae Whitman— we took this selfie for our mutual friend, EvanPeters, which is why we didn’t check if our faces were cut off! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Meh, so long as we’re not on the cutting room floor! 😬🙏🏼🤞🏼#goodgirls #nbc #universal #maewhitman #gueststar #dontblink #actorslife #thankyou Ulrich/dawson/kritzer Casting Momentum Talent Agency

Fat & happy Naomi w/ her hot, Mexican lover circa ‘95. 🇲🇽 Was looking forward to a sexy rendezvous at @elpasocomiccon in April... but not surprisingly, that’s been cancelled now too. 💔 Looks like I’m just going to get fat again, only now sad & alone, #quarantined inside. 🤦🏻‍♀️ #fml #thissucks #fomo #whatcouldhavebeen #memories #cancelled #fatandhappy #sadandalone #vivamexico #miamor #coronavirus #covid_19 #coronapocalypse

Serving some serious #cindysherman realness in the new footage I added to my reel while #quarantined today.

I may have had to PHYSICALLY SCALE the racks at #traderjoes, but at least I found some bacon to bring home! 🥓 #proteindiet #bringinghomethebacon #feedmeseymour #coronapocalypse #wtf

My exact sentiment re: meeting students, and sharing with them my “wild feminist” message and experiences on #ahs. Oh, and returning home safe and sound WITHOUT #coronavirus! Despite everything that’s happening, I’m SO glad I steilacame! 😉 #seewhatididthere #steilacoom #piercecollege #lakewood #washington #publicspeaking #wildfeminist #womenincomedy #studentlife #actorslife @ Pierce College Fort Steilacoom Student Life

Practicing what I preach! #lucilleball once said, “I am not funny. What I am is brave.” But that bravery is precisely what allowed herself to go there... without caring “how it looks.” In my “Women in Comedy” lecture, I talk about the importance of taking risks, exposing one’s self, being vulnerable, out there, edgy and real, willing to make mistakes, look ugly or silly or insecure. Which is why it THRILLS me to no end when the @pcfsstudentlife photographer, @ben_mydude presented me with these photos from yesterday’s talk, looking like ALL of those things! 🤪💪🏼🎯 #piercecollege #lakewood #washington #publicspeaking #womenincomedy #studentlife #actorslife @ Pierce College

Is there anything more fun than spinning stories on stage? I’m actually asking! Is there?? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you, WRITE CLUB Los Angeles for enabling me to do what I find most fun! 🙌🏼 #writeclub #angelcitybrewery #raconteurs #storytelling #spokenword #soloperformance #actorslife @ Angel City Brewery

One day, The Moth will actually pick my name out of the hat, instead of making me tease the audience with my story after! (At least now I’m primed & ready to story-tell at WRITE CLUB Los Angeles at Angel City Brewery next Monday!

VERY RARE, PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE OF ME IN A LOOSE-FITTING, WHITE SHIRT & JEANS!!! 👖👖👖When I was a little girl, I refused to attend summer camp because it meant having to wear jeans. (I just wanted to wear taffeta all the time.) Today, I wore them BY CHOICE, thanks to the deft direction of my dear stylist-friend, @styledbyaginger (thinking I could bluff the pool sharks at tonight’s Young Variety #thechildrenscharity event). It didn’t work— but it was a small sacrifice #forthechildren! 👏🏼👫💰#youngvariety #charityevent #actorslife

Li’l #bts for your Mon. No clue what’s happening here, though I’m most likely getting a #masterclass in #acting. #photoby #luisgarcia #ahs #ahsfreakshow #pepper #setlife

#tbt to #valentinesday Friday, spent with my #trueloves: an open stage & captive audience! #honored to host Christopher Ameruoso 'Swamp Rock Music'. 🎤💕👩🏻‍🎤🤘🏼

I graduated from Northwestern University +20 years ago in this dress; then last night, escaped from #margaritaville in it! Still fits as well as it did my #greatgrandma originally!! 👵🏼👗🍹💜 Thank you, Dolby Theatre for giving me somewhere to wear it! 🎭 👏🏼 #openingnight #redcarpet #escapefrommargaritaville #broadwayinhollywood #dolbytheatre #vintage #dress #handmedowns #actorslife

Everyone ❤️ a good, survival story! When I was cut from The Groundlings Theatre #sundaycompany, I thought my life was effectively over. But it wasn’t! I continued to live another 14 years (and counting)! 🙌🏼 And now, I’m back for #badcompany (the #ex Sun Co #reunion #show) next week! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 COME!!! #survivalist #groundlings #actorslife

If you've been following the adventures of my actual, former alley way in Alley Way (and even if you haven't), you'll be tickled by its SEASON FINALE here. My bestie, Marcus Folmar knocked it outta the park! Congrats to all involved!

BE MY VALENTINE, Y'ALL! This Fri, Feb 14th, Swamp Rock Valentines Celebration-- I'm hosting!

There was a puppy in a pink convertible holding up the #redcarpet in front of me. It’s a g.d. GETTY MIRACLE I don’t look gobsmacked by such hollyweirdness! Thank you, @wardourstudio & @samirasnetwork for including me (& the driving dog) in your #oscars luxury #viewing #gala. Can’t speak for @cupcakes_chronicles, but I had a blast! 🚗🐶💃🏻💫 #dressby @fx18taos @ Hilton Los Angeles / Universal City Edit

Last night in route to @samirasnetwork #Oscar #viewingparty, @gimmemore_glittergore chased me down with this awesome #fanart! (By far the BEST way to get chased!!) 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️ #actorslife #lovemyfans #dressby @fx18taos

Waiting for my car to the #oscar #viewingparty... so, I guess I’ll take a #selfie! Thanks, @fx18taos for the fab dress, and #mo #ecoluxe for the cool shades! More to come!!

While my “best picture” picks are Parasite, Joker Movie, 1917, and @onceinhollywood (possibly in that order?), I REALLY wanna see #joepesci win JUST for looking like my paternal grandfather. #grandpa #gangster #grossman #theirishman #bestsupportingactor #doppleganger #oscars

In addition to being my birthday (already overwhelmed-- thank you everyone!), it's also my 30th ANNIVERSARY OF JOINING SAG-AFTRA. 30 years ago TODAY, I shot my first network TV show, which I'm pleased to say is (finally) no longer on my resume! 🤦🏻‍♀️
