Thanks to the coronavirus, comedians are now trapped at home like the rest of us, so we decided that while we’re all self-quarantining, we’d do something a little different from our usual “Follow Friday” column. Instead of interviewing up-and-coming comedians we love on Twitter, we’re going live on Instagram every week to check in on some of our favorite people in comedy and get a firsthand look into how they’re handling the pandemic. So welcome to our new version of the column, now titled “Follow (From a Safe Distance) Friday.”
This week, Jamie Loftus put aside her feelings about getting stood up by her therapist to sit down for a chat about what she’s getting into while she’s stuck in her house. She expressed her admiration for all the work mutual-aid organizers are putting in right now, explained why she ate a cake pop for breakfast, and gave us the details of her new quarantine habit: quilting. She and I also got a chance to squash our Massachusetts hometown rivalry, and she gave us the anecdote of the year about the town she grew up in: “One of my favorite Brockton things ever was when they did a fundraiser for ‘education’ for years. And then it turns out what the fundraiser was actually for was a 40-feet-tall statue of Rocky Marciano.”
