Riki Lindhome
Garfunkel
Series
The comic/folk duo Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci hit prime time with their act in this scripted series for IFC. It follows hard-working underdogs trying to make their mark in comedy while muddling through messy dating scenarios, and doing so by performing one satirical (and often quite saucy) song after another. Nothing stops the ukulele- and guitar-wielding twosome from singing about life's unspoken truths, despite it leaving them detached from their peers. The series is titled after Lindhome and Micucci's band name, inspired by "two famous rock 'n' roll second bananas," Art Garfunkel and John Oates.

Frustrated by a former beau who takes things too seriously, Riki becomes involved with a fellow comedian in the hopes that their senses of humor will be more of a match. Meanwhile, Kate has to audition for a movie role against a major star that’s outside of her comfort zone while also trying to figure out the most inconspicuous way to end a relationship.
Riki and Kate must compete with their porn star doppelgangers Chevrolet and Epiphany to write a song for one of their favorite TV shows. The ladies also do their best to survive a corporate gig that takes a turn for the worst.
After noticing a strange phenomenon that men are attracted to women who barely talk, Riki and Kate decide to perform their own social experiment. On a double date, they make a pact to remain speechless for as long as they’re able to get away with it.
