We had the good fortune of connecting with Elizabeth Teets and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Elizabeth, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
John Waters said “a no if free” I think about that all the time when I ask to be a part of something or put myself into the running for any opportunity. Like what the worst that could happen?

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am a writer, comedian, and pop culture critic. I think the traditional way of doing most things is dead. Publishing exc. It’s important to make your own path.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Any trip to LA has to start with a trip to El Coytoe! I also love the Huntington Gardens, it’s such a great escape from the city. I like Yangban downtown for a luxurious meal with friends and lots of great conversation.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I really love Chevalier’s Books. I think they are such a great place in LA to hang out and they host such great events.
