We’ve got to thank comedian Abby McEnany and writer Samantha Irby for both achieving fame and keeping it real. McEnany has adapted her Chicago’s iO Theater one-woman show into the semi-autobiographical Showtime series Work In Progress—the “coming of age story of a 45-year-old self-identified queer dyke.” Irby’s latest essay collection Wow, No Thank You, chronicles her “bourgeois life of a Hallmark Channel dream,” including turning 40, getting married, and moving out of Chicago. Come celebrate Pride and representing queer joy with McEnany and Irby.

Season 1 of Work In Progress is streaming now on Showtime.
