Fleabag<\/em> is officially taking over, and taking Phoebe Waller-Bridge<\/strong> with it. <\/p>\n

After she won for best actress in a comedy and won best writing for a comedy at the 2019 Emmys<\/a>, the show itself took home the big comedy prize of the night. <\/p>\n

“This is just getting ridiculous,” Waller-Bridge began as she took the stage yet again. “Fleabag started as a one-woman show at Edinburgh Festival in 2013, and the journey has been absolutely mental to get here.” <\/p>\n

That’s an understatement<\/a>, honestly.<\/p>\n

Waller-Bridge went on to thank her cast and creative team, her family, and the show’s editor, and threw a special shout out to one special priest. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Season two would not have happened or exploded in the way that it did if it wasn’t for Andrew Scott, who came into our Fleabag<\/em> world like a whirlwind and gave a performance of such depth and complexity that just elevated the whole thing for all of us,” she said. <\/p>\n

Director Harry Bradbeer, who won earlier, also stepped in to say a few words. <\/p>\n

“I forgot to thank my wife when I was up here…we’ve had a very difficult hour,” he said. “So will you please give her a round of applause?” <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The show was nominated for a total of 11 awards this year and came away with six of them, and while Waller-Bridge has said the second season was the last, maaaaybe this could convince her to change her mind?<\/p>\n
