  "textContent": "**Episode 194: Bump by Georgia Pritchett**\n\nThis month’s dead pilot is _Bump_ , written by Emmy and WGA Award–winning writer **Georgia Pritchett**. Georgia is widely known for her work on _Veep_ and _Succession_ , and has also written for _The Thick of It_ and _Avenue 5_. She served as creator and showrunner on _The Shrink Next Door_ and is the author of the memoir _My Mess Is a Bit of a Life: Adventures in Anxiety_.\n\n_Bump_ follows a British couple coming to America to meet their surrogate, since surrogacy is illegal in the UK, only to discover she’s very different from what they imagined. The pilot blends emotional stakes with sharp, unexpected comedy in a way that feels very much in line with Georgia’s writing style.\n\nThe pilot was read live on stage at the Elysian Theater in Frogtown, Los Angeles with an amazing cast featuring Sarah Solemani (Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, Bad Education), Ed Weeks (The Mindy Project, Drop), Jessica Sula (Split, Michael), Logan Miller (Escape Room), Ginger Gonzaga (She Hulk), Beth Dover (Orange is the New Black, Nobody Wants This), with Stage direction from Andrew Reich\n\nThe next live _Dead Pilots Society_ show will be at the **Elysian Theater** on April 19, featuring pilots by **Joel Kim Booster** and **Christian Duguay**.\n\nVideo of the live table read is available exclusively to Maximum Fun members.
