 It's a role that Butoh had to be talked into doing by her real-life friend and co-star, Alana Glazer, because at the time, she was already in the thick of living out her character's life as the mother of twin babies. It's the latest in the growing list of projects for Butoh. She's the star of the Netflix series Survival of the Thickest, and this summer, she became the first woman to record a comedy special at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
