ROWR!

You are a once popular model, with a fading career and some obvious self-esteem issues, prone to prejudice and jealousy and severe bitchiness, but you also can ask for forgiveness when you really need it. And you usually really need it. You are Best Women’s Kylie, and to make it work, you’d better be pretty damn likable, even when you are being the biggest cunt on the block.

Eden Riegel grew up on All My Children, acting under the greatest soap opera diva of them all, Erica Kane, aka Susan Lucci. So she knows a thing or too about how to play bitchy. As Bianca, Eden Riegel suffered greatly at the hands of the sudsy show’s sadistic writers, being a victim of everything from anorexia to rape.

So, okay, she’s clearly got the backbiting and martyrdom down cold, but Best Women is a comedy people! Can the chica be funny?

Damn.

I saw Eden in Thoroughly Modern Millie in Boston and in two comedy club appearances at Caroline’s in New York City. The first appearance was the funniest, and I had no idea just how freaking amazing Eden could be. She has a range like Montana and a delivery that kills. I popped two ribs laughing.

OMG, Eden, OMG.
