Tom Segura Goes Full Filmmaker With ‘Bad Thoughts’ And R-Rated Comedy ‘El Tigre’ – Comedy Means Business Podcast
Tom Segura's 'Bad Thoughts' and 'El Tigre' mark his first big filmmaking endeavors. He discusses both on Deadline's Comedy Means Business podcast.
Between five Netflix specials and a podcasting empire through his YMH Studios — Your Mom’s House being the flagship series — Segura and wife/fellow comic Christina Pazsitzky have cultivated one of today’s most diehard comedy fandoms. It’s a project that’s given him his biggest creative canvas to date, and in between seasons, he’s secured a greenlight for El Tigre, an R-rated comedy shooting this summer where he’ll play both an everyday guy and the cartel boss who’s his doppelganger. Ahead of the start of production on El Tigre, Segura joined me to discuss betting on himself with Bad Thoughts — which began with a self-financed pilot — Netflix viewership insights, and what’s really required to create something great in comedy for film and television.
