Comedy of Jennifer Coolidge

For the past six months, Jennifer Coolidge has been trying something new. Something that's a bit different from the on-screen comic riffing she has been regularly known for: stand-up.

"You know, I like that when you go to a comedy club, you have to really, you know, get to meet your audience and get to hear their response immediately," says Coolidge from her Los Angeles home. "It's far more interesting than filmmaking, I think."
