you’ve got the option to probably guess how that went.
Terribly stressful, awful idea, she tells EW, laughing.
I mean, also very deliberately done.

Did the wedding go smoother than that?
CAMERON ESPOSITO:The wedding was awesome.
We really just threw a party.
We served pizza and Chicago-style veggie dogs and just danced.
It was really fun.
Then right before that, you recorded your first special.
How was planning for that?
It felt very everyday more than I anticipated it would.
Its been a really long road to get here.
Ive been doing comedy for 15 years.
Because I really think you get used to expecting none of that.
So you have really low expectations.
I think every comic assumes that they are going to be a total success.
You think about that every day.
But also you realize that its going to be very far away.
You also talk about marriage equality and gun control in the special.
I think we live in a time where comedy can be a lot of things.
And Im fighting to make my own life better.
And your politicians will affect my life in this way.
It really is about improving my own life.
But were all fighting together.
On a different note, youre inMothers Day.
You know these movies?
I love those.Valentines Day.
Yeah.Garry Marshall, a little up-and-coming director thats done things likePretty Womanand createdHappy Days.
Mothers Day, clearly.
Anyway, my character in the movie, Im a gay woman which is like, a real stretch.
Im married to Sarah Chalke, awesome actor.
Shes an amazing person.
[Laughs]
Was the Garry Marshall experience everything you hoped it would be?
He was wearing a Northwestern hat and sweatshirt because he went to Northwestern thats a huge thing for him.
And his college roommates were on set watching him shoot.
And he kept asking me, Can I see you do stand-up sometime while youre in town?
I got to do an hour of stand-up for Garry Marshall.
It was awesome
What holiday should he tackle next?
St. Patricks Day, maybe.
But I feel like thered be too much alcohol involved.
Garrys kind of wholesome.
It has to be a non-religiously affiliated holiday, so … Presidents Day probably?
Hillary will be elected.
I think that makes perfect sense.
Hell be like, Oh, Cameron, youre playing Hillary.
I cant wait to play Hillary!
[Laughs]
