Jimmy Fowlie (/ˈfaʊli/) is an actor and writer who publishes YouTube content. Formerly of The Groundlings, he produced Go-Go Boy Interrupted, an LGBT-themed comedy web series based on his live sketch comedy show of the same name. He is also known for writing and performing as Emma Stone in the one-woman Off-Broadway show So Long Boulder City.

Career[]

Fowlie appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Joe Schmo Show, and online shorts by Collegehumor and Nacho Punch. He appeared on HBO's The Comeback in 2014, and is a participant in the CBS Diversity Showcase.[1]

Fowlie began performing with The Groundlings around 2012, later teaching improv with the troupe.[2][3][4] Starting in June 2014 he began performing Go-Go Boy Interrupted, an LGBT-themed sketch comedy show, at The Groundlings theater. A few months later he adapted the show into a web series first shown on YouTube in October 2014. It chronicles the adventures of Danny Carter, a 30-year-old "washed up" male go-go dancer, based on Fowlie's own experiences as a go-go dancer in West Hollywood while attending the University of Southern California.[5][6][7] The live version of Go-Go Boy Interrupted continued in 2015.[8][9]

Fowlie also co-wrote and performed the one-woman Off-Broadway show So Long Boulder City, based on the fictional show created by Emma Stone's character Mia Dolan in the 2016 film La La Land. Co-written and directed by Jordan Black, So Long Boulder City was performed in Los Angeles before its six-month run at the SubCulture Off-Broadway theater in New York City.[10]

Fowlie is a contributor to The Huffington Post.[1]

Fowlie is a native of Bedford, Massachusetts,[11] outside of Boston, where he graduated from Walnut Hill School. He majored in theatre at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.[2][3][4] Fowlie is gay.[12]
