Michelle Buteau: The Surviving & Thriving Tour
Tabernacle

The actor, comedian, producer and writer Michelle Buteau stars in the Netflix comedy series, ‘Survival Of The Thickest,’ which she created and produced. It follows her autobiographical book of essays of the same title, and Buteau received the 55th NAACP Image Award for “Outstanding Breakthrough Creative (Television)” for the show. She’s done a couple of other Netfix specials as well, and stars in the film comedy ‘Babes’ (2024); ‘Rolling Stone’ called it the “‘Bridesmaids’ of babymaking,” while ‘Variety’ praised its “unapologetically raw take on pregnancy and female friendship.” Buteau’s soon-to-be-released movie, ‘Spa Weekend,’ also stars Leslie Mann, Isla Fisher and Anna Faris. — Kevin C.
