Marc Maron and Alison Brie, stars of the Netflix show “GLOW”, recently spoke with Observer.com, and below are some interview highlights.

Marc Maron on how stand-up comedy and pro wrestling are similar:

Well, they’re kind-of both scripted, and in both cases, you have to do these shitty gigs to get anyone to notice you. Like, there’s this touring mechanism in wrestling where, as they’re becoming better wrestlers, they do these horrible shows in small venues and that’s sort of like the open mic circuit of doing stand-up. They both have this thing where you’re sort of learning how to do it, while kind-of paying your dues basically.

Alison Brie on what they’ve learned about wrestling matches doing the show:

Actually, we’ve learned that a lot of wrestling is more physical improvisation in the moment, and open communication between the wrestlers minute by minute in the ring, than prior planning. To relate it back to stand-up again, it’s just really experienced wrestlers who wrestle with each other and they’re just communicating to one another what’s going to happen. So, while they’re wrestling in the ring—unbeknownst to the hundreds of people watching—the wrestlers are really [staying]in tune with the audience and can see who they’re rooting for, so they know who needs to ham it up and stuff.

Alison Brie on what to expect in season two of the show:

In season one we were really setting up a lot of stuff so that in this season we have the luxury of exploring the characters’ lives a lot more. We have 15 women on the show this season, and that means there’s just so much more story to tell.
