Lead Female

About the Job

The Talent is a woman who is, on the surface, completely unremarkable — normal clothes, normal grocery list, normal day. Except she has an absurd amount of prop cash and accepts that fact with zero self-consciousness. The entire joke depends on her being the LEAST dramatic person in the room about something extremely dramatic. Personality: Understated, dry, warmly generous. The Talent's 'Oh — keep a twenty. Seriously. Buy yourself something nice' to the stunned Samaritan is the character's most revealing moment — she's generous because she genuinely doesn't need to show off. Her 'I'm just patient' closer is the line that makes her the most likeable character in all nine spots. Physical look: Dressed normally for grocery shopping — casual clothing, nothing expensive or fashionable. The contrast between 'regular person at the grocery store' and 'thousands of dollars of prop cash' is the visual joke. Wardrobe should not upscale her. No statement pieces.
