The cult hit web series Broad City comes compliments of the collective brains of Abbi Jacobson + Ilana Glazer (both UCB alum). Called “sneak attack feminism” by the Wall Street Journal, the series follows two friends in New York City navigating their way though the minutiae that is life. Their ability to induce cringing and laughter simultaneously is the reason the girls can call people like Amy Poehler, Kristen Schaal, and Hannibal Buress fans and guest stars.
Started in late 2009, the series has been written up by the NY Times, Comedy Central, MTV, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Fader, Time Out New York, The A.V. Club and more. The series has been nominated for the ECNY’s “Best Web Series” award as have the girls individually — Abbi for illustration and Ilana for stand-up. Broad City is in development with FX with Abbi and Ilana slated as Executive Producer alongside Ms. Amy Poehler.

We’re in the most current issue of The FADER magazine! (Fall/Back to school issue) On racks and shelves all over the place!
We did “LA Wholeheartedly Welcomes Broad City” at UCBLA and took some pictures with our awesome audience.
So late and almost irrelevant except for the fact that Abbi has that shirt on. This was taken during “Do The Right Thing” at the home of Serious Lunch.
Here is the steady cam and brilliantly skilled steady cam operator, David Ellis. The top picture shows the steady cam in its holder for when it’s not on Dave’s body, and the second one shows him all geared up with it. There’s a giant spring that keeps the camera motion fluid while it’s on his body. It’s MAD HEAVY! And even with that, Dave ran after us (or before us, backwards) down half-blocks at a time. Even without a ton of steady cam metal on our bodies, we were sweatin’ our balls off! Luckily, we had a ball-dryer on set — this was a big production, people!
This is from our I Heart NY shoot — circled is T.J. Misny, Adam Newport-Berra, and Kyle Sather on top of the generous Caity Quinn and Kim Ashton Armstrong’s rooftop. They got many different shots from this one place — thanks for the genius, fellas!
