Bravo Breakdowns
Comedians Lauren Davis (Fox, Hulu) and Michele Baber (Kidd Kraddick) are hysterical women, and we're batsh*t crazy about reality TV.
We're two former stand-up comedians and joke writers with a long list of comedic accomplishments and mental illness diagnoses- and now, all of our time, obsession, passion, talent, wit, and neuroses are dedicated entirely to recapping reality shows.
We do hours of research to get inside the minds of other gifted and deeply unwell women- the goddesses of reality TV (and their terrible husbands and boyfriends).
You'll learn all about these divas' humble beginnings, scandals, relationships- all the stuff that never made it to TV that you want to know but are too lazy to scour the internet to find.
We do deep-dives into enigmas like Bethenny Frankel to Hilaria Baldwin to Kelly Bensimmon- and finally give you some answers to the question, "Why on earth do they act like that?"
Plus, we do regular comedy recaps of the best reality TV shows on the air to keep you up-to-date with the fast-paced news cycle of Bravolebrities.
And enjoy our celebrity guest interviews with reality TV performers, producers, comedians & pop culture icons like Deux Moi, former Bravo top exec Lauren Zalaznick, and Traitors contestant/WOW former World Champ Simone Williams!
If you've got a reality TV obsession or want your friends to understand your reality TV obsession, Lauren and Michele will break it all down for you in one hilarious, jam-packed hour of tea and laughs.
