Podcast appearances and mentions of melanie vesey

Rivka and Frank are joined by comedian and actor Melanie Vesey for a cheerful yet critical discussion about Frank Capra's classic Christmas film starring Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed, It's A Wonderful Life. They discuss how the film's depiction of American and liberal idealism may have something to do with its staying power. They also question why Jimmy Stewart's character George Bailey didn't simply go on a vacation or two, and suggest that the film's alternate reality of “Pottersville” actually looked pretty fun.  Netflix Turns To South Korean Writers And Crews As Hollywood Strikes. But They Feel Exploited Too (Los Angeles Times, 2023)

Rivka and Frank are joined by comedian, actress, and director Melanie Vesey to discuss Terry Gilliam's dystopian black comedy Brazil. They dig into the film's depiction of the merger of state and corporate power, the themes of fantasy escapism, and how hot Robert DeNiro is as a revolutionary plumber. 

Episode 93. Melanie Vesey joins Mike (whom she acted with in the early 2000s), Keith, and Reno to talk NYC clubbing and Go-Go Dancing, LOVING drugs, foxhole prayers, fentanyl strips, getting sober with friends, acting in Man On The Moon, contact highs, skinheads in the living room, movies, and recovering from getting shot by her girlfriend.

Melanie Vesey has a dividing line in her life: Before and after she got shot. The before part includes being a Juilliard and Alvin Ailey trained dancer, a Stella Adler trained actor, a party girl, a person in recovery, and a co-dependent who sought chaotic relationships. The after part includes deep trauma, a crumbling career, motherhood, and a rebirth involving comedy, acting and starting her own business. It's also when she met Marc, who helps walk Melanie through the whole story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Comedian, actress, writer/director Melanie Vesey digs deep in her soul and covers a lot of ground in this interview with Tristan Taormino. Her experience with intimate partner violence just as her acting career was taking off was heartbreaking, and she talks about how she recovered from the trauma (and turned it into comedy 20 years later). We talk about what it’s like to co-parent her son with his dad, and her description of talking openly about sex with him is inspiring and hilarious. We also talk about Promotional Rescue, her promotion coaching business for artists and small business owners. Plus, we listen to an excerpt from her stand up special Wild Animal (video on Amazon and RevrtTV, audio on all major streaming platforms). Special thanks to Sakara and Intensity by Pour Moi. Melanie Vesey is an accomplished comedian, actress, writer/director, and owner of Promotional Rescue. Her comedy special/album Wild Animal is available to watch on Amazon, Revry TV and to listen to all major streaming platforms. She hosts the Promotional Rescue Talk Show where she has real conversations with people about how they deal with self-promotion. Throughout Melanie's career, she's been seen in the New York Times, The New Yorker, Paper Magazine, Playboy, Time Out, and Vanity Fair. In addition to her TV comedy spot on Laugh After Dark for Amazon, she’s opened for Marc Maron, Tweeted for Tig Notaro, WON round 4 of the U.S. Comedy Contest, and been comedian of the week on the Jackie Kashian & Laurie Kilmartin podcast. Notably, she co-starred with Jim Carrey in the Andy Kaufman bio-pic "Man on the Moon" and has been seen at the Burbank, Motor City, Palm Springs, and the Ladies Laugh Comedy Festivals. Melanie also co-produces The Antidepressant Comedy Hour for Comedy Hub on Twitch and Make It Rain Comedy. Trained at the Juilliard School at Lincoln Center, Stella Adler Conservatory in New York City, and The Interlochen Arts Academy, she has a strong foundation for her body of work.

Stand up comedian Melanie Vesey settled down with a man, had a son, left her husband, dated a woman (who shot her after their break up), and eventually married a lovely lady. Now she's wondering if they should have a baby when she already has a teenager at home.

From Broadway star Krystal Joy Brown and bestselling author Kristen McGuiness, HOW WE DO THIS is a “getting through it” guide to finding the lives we were always meant to live. It's where the personal meets politics, dreaming meets failing, love meets sex, wellness meets addiction, and we get it done. In this fresh new podcast, Krystal and Kristen interview the folks who are doing just that - economists, comedians, journalists, actors, doctors, writers, healers, scientists, artists, activists, and entrepreneurs who have all figured out a fresh angle on tackling life - even when it’s really hard. And fun. And terrible. And crazy, scary magic.

Comedian, Actor, and many things one Melanie Vesey is asked by GoatVsFish if it is Goat or Fish.
