Rachel Bloom Sets Netflix Debut For Stage Show Turned Special ‘Death, Let Me Do My Show’

Currently on the main stage of the Williamstown Theater Festival, running through July 14th, as a Rotten Science production directed by Seth Barrish, Death, Let Me Do My Show‘s July 12 and 13 performances are being taped for the special. The show is described as a one-woman musical comedy that is definitely NOT about the ever-present specter of death. It’s filled with raunchy and escapist material that will in NO way explore the pandemic and all the tumultuous events that ensued in her personal life.

Recently, Bloom also performed the show at the Netflix Is a Joke Festival, which took place across Los Angeles in early May.

An actress, comedian and writer, Bloom is best known for co-creating and starring in the acclaimed musical comedy series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, having landed an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a Gotham Award, and a Critics’ Choice Television Award for her work on the show during its four-season run on The CW. The show follows her character Rebecca Bunch, a high-powered New York lawyer who impulsively abandons her successful career after a chance encounter with her first love. Convinced that rekindling their romance will bring her true happiness, she relocates to West Covina, California, and as she adapts to her new life, she navigates comedic and poignant situations, dealing with mental health struggles and forming new relationships, including a close bond with quirky co-workers.

Rising to internet fame as early as 2010 with viral videos like “Fuck Me, Ray Bradbury,” Bloom has also previously been seen on shows like Paramount+’s revival of Frasier, Max’s Julia and Hulu’s Reboot, among others. Previously, she also served as a writer for Adult Swim’s adult animated series Robot Chicken.
