Funny People Talking

Queer Filipino-American folk-singer Mercy Bell takes us through her career in the music scene, why appearing in Rolling Stone made her go get a job, how identifying off the bat as both queer and Filipino is of personal importance to her, and the importance of humor for much needed levity to her songs which can otherwise deal with heavy topics. Plus, a risque whopped cream moment with Greg Brady, an unexpected kazoo, the pizza scent of Tina Fey, horseradish love with Elsie, Mercy improvises a new Broadway style song on the spot, and a live performance of her song All Good Cowboys.
