Teri Hatcher is getting serious about comedy.
The actor is no stranger to delivering jokes or being put in humorous situations on-screen, from her iconic guest star appearance on “Seinfeld” to eight seasons of often outlandish moments on “Desperate Housewives.” For the last few years she has been balancing television gigs with performing stand-up sets on stage, and now the two are mixing in the Showtime special “Even More Funny Women of a Certain Age.”
“I started writing and performing my first versions of what I would call funny stories maybe five years ago. I was doing that with some really great comedic writers; we would do shows that were for charity in front of audiences of 300 or 400 people. That was kind of the beginning of me looking at just performing a funny story,” Hatcher tells Variety.

Uni is Imagine's 'Best Friend'
Universal Pictures and Imagine Entertainment have acquired the rights to remake the 2006 French comedy hit "Mon Meilleur Ami".
Imagine's Brian Grazer will produce "My Best Friend" through his Universal-based shingle alongside Tazora Films' Agnes Mentre.
The original film, directed by Patrice Laconte, opened late last year and grossed $5.5 million in its first three weeks in France.
The story centers on Catherine, who refuses to believe that her business partner, the unlikable Francois, has a best friend, so she challenges him to set up an introduction. Scrambling to find someone willing to pose as his best pal, Francois enlists the services of a charming taxi driver to play the part.
Universal's Erik Baiers will oversee for the studio.
Karen Kehela Sherwood, David Bernardi and Nikki Levy are shepherding the project for Imagine.
No talent is attached.
UTA brokered the deal.
