A little bit of Grace: Comedian GKuhlenschmidt talk to BUST about teen angst, queer comedy, and why rom-coms are the best. romcom queercomedy teenangst bustmagazine
Pop quiz: What rom-com would Grace Kuhlenschmidt remake with a gay twist? “That’s a tough one,” she says after a beat. “Romantic comedies are my favorite genre and they’re all straight. But I think Meet the Fockers could be fun if it was about lesbian moms dealing with their daughter bringing home a boyfriend.”
ADVERTISEMENT Like other comics’ origin stories, Kuhlenschmidt’s sensibility was forged in the crucible of tween angst. The L.A. native didn’t have a knack for sports or studies, but she was funny. “I was always chubbier, more masculine, and had shorter hair than other girls,” says Kuhlenschmidt. “In middle school, I started going to a private school where I had to wear a skirt every day. The situation was, ‘Be feminine or bust,’ and I never fit the mold.
Today, Kuhlenschmidt is part of a wave of comics queering the traditionally hetero male scene. Mainstream institutions—think Saturday Night Live and zillions of stand-up specials—still roll out the red carpet for mediocre men, but Kuhlenschmidt has found thousands of fervent fans on the Internet who validate her voice and POV.
