IFC Announces Three Comedy Pilots, Eight Half-Hour Projects In Development 
Congratulations to Matt Besser, Chris Gethard, Riki Lindhome and Kate Micucci, whose pilots and projects are currently in development at IFC.

IFC today announced a slate of 11 comedy projects, including three pilot orders. Here are details:

GARFUNKEL & OATES (Pilot) The pilot is a scripted comedy about the female comedy-folk duo Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel) and Kate Micucci (Oates). The pilot centers on the aspirations and misadventures of this odd couple, and will spotlight the personal and professional lives of the duo whose career choices - singing satirical and sometimes dirty songs - leaves them with little in common with their peers, and no one but each other to turn to for support and understanding. The pilot, produced by Abominable Pictures' Jonathan Stern (Children's Hospital) will begin production in May in Los Angeles.

CULT FOLLOWING Cult Following follows two friends who jointly run a health food restaurant and inadvertently become cult leaders. The pilot script is co-written by and co-stars Matt Besser (co-founder of the Upright Citizens Brigade, Freak Dance) and Rich Fulcher (The Mighty Boosh, Snuff Box).

STUPID LIFE Previously announced as A Bad Idea I'm About to Do, this show's script is based on comedian Chris Gethard's (The Chris Gethard Show, The Other Guys, This American Life) recent autobiographical book of the same name. Tom Scharpling (The Best Show on WFMU, Monk) is series executive producer and co-creator.  Gethard and Scharpling are co-writing the pilot script.
