Quick Facts Jeffery & Cole Casserole, Genre ...

Origins

The program originated from the internet popularity of New York-based comedy duo Jeffery Self and Cole Escola, previously known for their comedic viral videos under the YouTube moniker VGL (Very Good Looking) Gay Boys.[3] Self and Escola have said that they were approached via Facebook by executives from Logo, who offered them a development deal after following their videos and attending one of their live shows.[4]

Format

Casserole was recorded entirely with a webcam[3] and follows a format similar to Self and Escola's previous internet video skits. Each episode begins with Self and Escola performing an introductory skit, in which they sit in front of a webcam and welcome the audience to the show. The show then features one major plotline that is dispersed between other short, unrelated comedy segments. Many of the show's plotlines revolve around an all-girls Catholic school in which both Self and Escola portray themselves as students. The unrelated comedy segments tend to skew absurdist. The show's plotlines and its short segments are camp in nature.[5]

The series features cameo appearances by artists from New York City's downtown performance art scene, including Bridget Everett, Erin Markey, and Max Steele, who plays Jeffery and Cole's classmate, Becky. Famous queer singer and performer Justin Bond appears in several episodes, playing the school's principal, Agnes. Pandora Boxx, a Rochester, New York drag queen made famous by the reality show "RuPaul's Drag Race," has appeared once as well as British actor Christian Coulson.
