Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Stephen Colbert want you watch ‘Fleabag Live.’ Just not with your family.

On Thursday Phoebe Waller-Bridge joined Stephen Colbert over video chat to promote her special fundraiser edition of Fleabag Live. The Fleabag TV series (which Colbert, correctly, calls “perfect”) was adapted from her original one-woman stage show, a short revival of which was filmed as a special event last year, and now that performance will be available to watch for a small fee via Amazon and Soho Live to raise money for theatre communities left out of work during the coronavirus pandemic. 

But whatever you do, don’t watch it with your parents — or your kids. The Late Show host tells Waller-Bridge how his daughter firmly shut down the suggestion that the Colberts sit down for a Fleabag Live family viewing party: “She said, ‘You can watch it by yourself, but you cannot watch it with your children.”

Despite the Hot Priest existing only in the series, and only its second season, the OG monologue is even more full of the raw, existential horniness that the show is now famous for — if not more so. Colbert, bless him, describes it as “racier.”

“It really delves into the psychology more, because it’s a monologue — there’s a lot more of her point of view and the harsher perspective she has on the world,” explained Waller-Bridge. “She’s very sexually candid but she uses it as a way to control the atmosphere of the room, whereas it had a cheekier element to it in the TV show.”
