Event Details

Description

You may know Zosia Mamet from her role as Shoshanna on Girls, or for being one of Hollywood’s original nepo babies (or as she says, “So if I’m a nepo baby I’m like a B minus one at best and maybe not even a full one. I’m like a nepo baby lite, a nepito baby, if you will”).

What you might not know is that as a toddler she visited theaters where her mom was rehearsing and crawled around on the floor, scrunching herself between seats; that she earnestly believed in Santa Claus for way too long; that she spent years navigating body image issues in hopes of finding elusive self-love; and that she was so overwhelmed and overjoyed when finally meeting her idol David Sedaris that she hid in the bathroom and melted into a “glitter puddle.”

The essays in Does This Make Me Funny? introduce us to Zosia Mamet in all her glory—from her early days growing up in literary and dramatic circles, to her years as a young adult pining for acceptance and love, to her first attempts to make it as an actor, to where she and Shosh are now. A gripping, funny, and earnest look at what it means to be a girl in the world and how to define yourself amid the bustle of show business, Does This Make Me Funny? is a captivating debut from a natural-born storyteller.

About Zosia Mamet:
Zosia Mamet is perhaps best known for her starring role in the Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning HBO series Girls. She can currently be seen starring in Peacock’s comedy series Laid and was recently seen in the ensemble Netflix series The Decameron. Mamet also garnered critical acclaim for her SAG-nominated performance in the Emmy-nominated Max series The Flight Attendant. When she isn't on screen, you can find her at the barn riding her horse, or at home with her husband and snuggling their dog.
