SHAPIRO: This character, much like you, is a swimmer, sang in show choir, was raised in Kansas. It's called 'Somebody Somewhere,' and Bridget Everett told me it taps into some of the real, conflicted feelings she has about her hometown.ĮVERETT: While I appreciate Kansas and there's a lot of love about it, I never - I always felt like a square peg in a round hole there.
