Julio Torres in Conversation with Bowen Yang

A plunger who wants to be a vase. A group of friends with a penchant for the paranormal. A queer retelling of Pride and Prejudice. Julio Torres and Bowen Yang might be two of the most eclectic voices in comedy today. Join them for a conversation about their longstanding friendship — from coming up together in a changing New York comedy scene to SNL and beyond — and a burst of creative energy that’s resulted in a slew of hilarious new projects. Torres’ new picture book, I Want to Be a Vase, following a plucky plunger’s desire to become a beautiful vase, is a hilariously original creation and a deceptively moving inquiry into the nature of who we are — a children’s book with big, grown-up ideas about identity. The long-awaited second season of Los Espookys, the hit series Torres created with Fred Armisen and Ana Fabrega, is about to drop on HBO Max. And Fire Island, Andrew Ahn and Joel Kim Booster’s brilliant, buzzy new retelling of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice co-starring Yang, is coming in June. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Don’t miss two of comedy’s most dynamic young stars as they discuss it all — telling stories from behind the scenes, what’s in store beyond this summer, and much more.
