Overview
As a young girl, Ellen Skrmetti loved performing. She starred in plays, sang in the church choir, and even won the chance to represent her town at the Miss Mississippi pageant. But backstage at the pageant, she was gripped by severe stage fright and made a deal with God: If you help me get through this, I will never, ever get onstage again. After successfully hitting the high note in āAdelaideās Lamentā from the musicalĀ Guys and Dolls, sheĀ packed up her drama clothes for goodāor so she thought.
Ā Ā Ā When the pandemic hit, Ellen longed to bring a little joy to the dark struggles the world was facing. She thought about all of times sheād asked Jesus to walk with her through pain and heartacheāand how often Heād laughed with or comforted her, even during her blazing hot flashes. So she decided to share that message with others, in 30-second videos on Instagram that quickly went viral. Ā
Ā Ā Ā Holding a remote control in her hand, Ellen "calls" Jesus with comments and questions, including asking Him not to make her an advance maternal age mama (again) and if He could bless the nourishment of her food to someone elseās body. She also asks for advice when her best friendās ex-husbandās new wife shows up in the next pew, or what nursing home plans to make when she's eight years past your first geriatric pregnancy.
Ā Ā Ā From a pageant queen with stage fright, to viral videos, to her growing popularity as a stand-up comedian with sold-out performances, Ellenās humor is rooted in southern charm andĀ culture. Her relatable stories in Hey Jesus, Itās Me will bring levity to our lives, or at least some validation that weāre not the only ones asking if we can ghost our relatives in heaven.
