"It's not everyday you get to release the planet's greatest operating system for personal computing...!" This delightfully clever, amusing short film is now out to watch online. Written & directed by Kk Apple, The Launch is a parody of the Microsoft team getting ready to launch Windows 95 at a big tech event in 1995. "When a ruthless tech ubernerd is faced with pushback right before a big launch, he must find a way to hype up the team - and himself - before going onstage." It's inspired by true events and "one very viral Bill Gates video." This film riffs on the whole event by casting a group of young women to perform as kids pretending to be these not-so-confident tech nerds - the Microsoft boys. Starring Alyssa Limperis as Bill, Tien Tran as Dave, Katie Sisk as Steve, Alise Morales as Richard, and Kk Apple as Marcus; along with Pallavi Gunalan,...

Comedy can be healing in more ways than one. Alyssa Limperis is bringing the laughs in her new Peacock comedy special No Bad Days, which premieres August 12. But the comedian hopes the special's subject matter—the death of her father—will inspire viewers going through their own experiences with loss. "The best part of any show is having someone come up to me and just sharing their experience with me," she exclusively told E! News. "I think giving people permission to be okay with whatever their experience looks like on grief, to me, is what I hope people come out of it with." Writing the special—which she began working on after her father died of brain cancer in...

If there's one thing comedians are great at, it's finding the light in a dark situation. Alyssa Limperis is exploring the death of her father through a lighthearted lens in her brand-new comedy special No Bad Days, which premieres August 12 on Peacock. "My dad was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer, and then a year later, he passed away," she says in the special's first look trailer. "And then, a day later, I went to a café, and they were all out of oat milk. So, it's like, 'Pile it on.'"

Ron Lynch and Alyssa Limperis in Too Late
Comedy is a tough business. It’s highly competitive and those at the top often guard their positions jealously. Violet (Alyssa Limperis) has been a loyal assistant to Bob (Ron Lynch) for many years, but recently, seeing herself passed over for opportunities, she’s begun to find it frustrating. What’s more, she knows a secret about Bob that no-one else is privy to: he’s a literal monster and every month he swallows somebody whole. Having covered up for him for years, she’s finally beginning to feel that she should do something about it.
“Me and my husband, Tom Becker, who wrote the screenplay, what we first wanted to do was to make a low budget film,” says director Dw Thomas when we meet to discuss the film, Too Late. “We started coming up with ideas that we thought we...
