Phoebe Waller-Bridge interview
Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge talks sex, feminism and 'wanking' to President Obama.
Michelle Lanz, KPCC, 29th October 2016The itch left by Fleabag
I am exhausted of explaining why Fleabag is not enough, why Girls isn't enough. I, as a young woman, am hungry for more. I am starving for something more to chew on, to watch television that reflects what it's like to be struggling in a way that doesn't involve nicking a bottle of wine and masturbating to Obama. I want to see the comedy in the truly difficult things that women face today and to find the relief in it.

Ben Travers, IndieWire, 16th September 2016'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."
