Have you ever been standing in line at the grocery store, or maybe you’ve just settled into your seat on a long transcontinental flight, and a well-meaning, somewhat quirky stranger next to you decides to strike up a conversation? It’s all, “The weather is lovely right now” and “I wanted to get the last of those beans myself!” And you nod politely, hoping that’s the end of it. But in Cole Escola’s world, it’s never, ever the end of it. Suddenly this person is telling you about their odd allergies and some horrific, gory backstory from their youth. You can’t get away from them fast enough if you can get away at all.
Such is the case with Escola’s character Donna Germaine, the lead of the fake, “never aired” TV pilot for a show calledabout a real estate agent trying to sell a haunted property that ends on a spooky cliffhanger. “Eventually I just took the thing down, I just said I’m sick of feeding hummingbirds,” Germaine rambles in one scene, with hair that looks straight off the head of Barbara Bush, before talking about how she never had nice shoes growing up and that she’s allergic to strawberries.
Comedian and actor Cole Escola has a knack for building out bizarre, dark characters in these little conversational asides. The women he invents often look like sweet old ladies and housewives, done up in sassy store-bought wigs and muumuus until they reveal something in passing that turns everything you thought about them upside down. Maybe he’s a mom in a cheery commercial
