I finally got the opportunity to meet (and actually hang out with) actress Teal Sherer at GeekGirlCon this past weekend in Seattle and was delighted to find we got along just as well in person as online. Most of you probably know Sherer from her role as Venom on The Guild but she’s recently branched out into her own comedic web series titled My Gimpy Life. It’s loosely based on her own experiences as a disabled actress living in Los Angeles, and while I may be biased, it’s pretty hilarious so far. The latest episode features her Guild co-star and real-life pal, Felicia Day, as they both audition for the same role. Having been on one disability panel with Sherer at GGC and watching her on another I can tell you she’s got a great handle on how to educate while being funny and is unapologetic about showing what those of us hear from other people on a daily basis. There’s some adult language in this episode, just as a warning.
Hit the jump to watch episodes one and two if you haven’t already.
