Where did Marcel the Shell start?

I was doing the voice while stuck in a tiny hotel room (i felt very small), and my husband noticed and thought we should do something with it!

you know, SNL was a challenge for me, mostly because of how I treated myself. Everyone was very kind to me, but if there was one thing I would change, I would ask people to stop saying that "now is the time for women in comedy" because it's rude to all of the women who came before us, patronizing to those of us doing it, and backwards in general. Comedy comes from my nature, not my gender!

Kroll show and Mr. Nick Kroll are both wonderful and it's a dream x a million for me! My shoes for "Liz" are a bummer though. A big bummer, and the costumes for that character are heavily polyester and they REALLY hold onto your B.O., FYI.
