Jennifer Coolidge coming to Springfield comedy club
Life changed actress Jennifer Coolidge, which occurs four shows this weekend at Donnie B's Comedy Club, when she connected the Groundlings, the legendary Los Angeles improv comedy group.
"The moment I started with the Groundlings, the seas and so many nice things have happened," Coolidge said Monday in a telephone interview. That among her first television appearance on "Seinfeld," playing a masseuse who refused to give the screen a massage friend Jerry Seinfeld. Then there was "SheTV" and, finally, the teen sex comedy "American Pie" (more on that later). "I think I would still today as a waitress if it were not for the Groundlings," Coolidge said. Instead, she had what appears to be a steady career as an actor on television and in movies. Now she's an act on the road. Coolidge said she began performing stand-up comedy clubs relatively recently, in Province town, Mass. In the beginning she was just reading from a notebook, but since then her show has become something between a traditional stand up act and a one-woman show. "It's my commentary on life in Los Angeles - and my disappointment in recent times, with all the strange reality world what is happening," Coolidge said. She also talks about sex, the strange experience of dating after confirmed for a long time, and some of the auditions she was strange since the economy tanked. "It's real story format - no lines, laugh lines, smile - more Kathy Griffin style," said Coolidge. She and Griffin were in the Groundlings together in the year 1990.
"I happen to have a great time there: it was Lisa Kudrow, Kathy Griffin, Will Ferrell, Chris Kattan, myself, Cheri Oteri, Ana Gasteyer, Will Forte - some really good people," said Coolidge.
It reads like a who's-who of "Saturday Night Live" alumni. But comedy was not the first career of 48-year-old actress
