Former Porn Star Bree Olson Turns To Comedy

If you’re a porn fan, you probably remember Bree Olson for her very successful six-year career as a porn star. If you’re at least mildly into pop culture, you also probably remember her for being one of Charlie Sheen’s live-in “goddesses” during his very public meltdown days.

If you’re simply a Bree Olson fan, though, you may be very glad to hear that the retired porn star is making a comeback; only this time as a comedian.

Since retiring from the adult industry — and Charlie Sheen — three years ago, Bree has kept herself busy with acting, learning and pursuing scenes that before would have likely been fast-forwarded by most of her old fans.

Not this time, though! On the new web series Bree Does Comedy, the adult film legend plays an exaggerated version of herself while she attempts to crossover from porn to the comedy world. Each episode of the series is expected to be about her tackling different forms of comedy and acting (auditions, stand up, sketch, improv, etc.).

The show was created by Kimberly McVicar, who’s trained at UCB, Second City and The Groundlings and has starred in some popular videos around the Internet. She wrote all six episodes, and also plays Bree’s manager.

Only the first episode is out, and it looks like it’ll be a tongue-in-cheek approach to the difficulties of transitioning from porn to the mainstream world. It’s a crossover that many have failed to do, since so many people have a preconception of what a porn star is supposed to be like — especially when it’s an adult actress as famous as Bree.

They could have made it about her trying to fit in and adapt to her surroundings, but instead Bree is in on the joke, turning her porny side all the way up and having fun while playing the overly horny “dumb” blonde that people expect her to be. Not everyone can put aside their ego confidently enough just to get a laugh, and she’s showing commitment to it.

They created a Kickstarter in order to fund the whole series. The pledged goal is $38,000, and it’s set to finish by March 7th, which looks attainable. Additionally, for every pledge you make, you can get Bree-related perks; anywhere from a signed thank you card in the mail to a special lunch with the cute and bubbly porn star — obviously depending on your generosity. So head to their Kickstarter if you’d like to see more of Bree.
