In 2016, according to reviews, Andrea Martin “alone may be worth the price of admission” in her scene-stealing role of bossy ‘Aunt Voula’ in the long-awaited sequel, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2. She completed an incredibly successful run, starring on Broadway in Noises Off! in the hysterical role of ‘Dotty Otley’, and earning Martin another Tony nomination; while simultaneously shooting the second season of Hulu’s Difficult People, starring Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner, and produced by Amy Poehler; in her perfectly blended, apathetic, yet astute, role of Julie Klausner’s mother, ‘Marilyn’. Last year, Martin also joined the cast of the NBC event, Hairspray Live!, playing Ariana Grande’s mom.

Last year, Martin filmed the third and final season of the critically-acclaimed Difficult People. She just wrapped the second season of her NBC hit comedy series Great News, written by Tracey Wigfield and produced by Tina Fey.
