'Fleabag' burrows deep with caustic comedy

As a bawdy, brutally honest woman in comedy, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has gotten every comparison in the book. "I'm the 'next Lena Dunham,' 'the 'English Amy Schumer,' the 'next Sharon Horgan,' " Waller-Bridge, 31, says with a shrug. "I've basically been linked to every other woman who's written about sex. No guy is ever the 'new Will Ferrell' -- he's just a comedian. I guess it's indicative of it being quite a small pool."

Patrick Ryan, USA Today, 15th September 2016
