Cringe comedy: Life’s most embarrassing moments aired, not spared, on Poor Lil Thing
Like all good comedy duos, Amy Goodmurphy and Ryan Steele met in a bar. Goodmurphy was consuming and Steele was pouring … though perhaps not fast enough for her liking.
“I asked her if she wanted another beer and she said, ‘Yeah, I wanted one five minutes ago when this one was f***ing empty,’ ” said Steele. “And I was like, ‘Holy s***, this girl’s funny. So I bought her a Kokanee.”
“If this makes it to print, can you at least change it to an import beer?” Goodmurphy asked.
The two have been making each other laugh ever since, and eventually formed The Ryan & Amy Show to bring others in on the joke. For the last year, the queer sketch comedy duo has been hosting Poor Lil Thing, a podcast that celebrates everything embarrassing. Each episode garners between 20-25,000 listens per episode and the show has been featured on the Apple podcasts homepage in the categories Comedy — New and Wild and Witty. If that’s not enough, Poor Lil Thing has charted in Croatia, Italy and Ireland.
