She began taking classes at Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB) soon after, and there she met Ilana Glazer (whom she initially, hilariously, mistook for Alia Shawkat from Arrested Development).

This thing, whatever unexplainable thing they were doing on that stage, I wanted in,' Jacobson writes. 'I found a seat in the back and watched a show, about what I couldn’t say, but I sat there in complete awe, paralyzed in a new way. After realizing it's not for her and dropping out, Jacobson attends an Upright Citizens Brigade show at the suggestion of a roommate (who would later become the inspiration for Abbi's uncomfortable living situation on Broad City suffice to say the two don't talk anymore). Through her essays, she fills us in on her journey from the suburbs of Wayne, Pennsylvania, to art school in Baltimore to her short-lived enrollment in the Atlantic Theater Company. I Might Regret This follows Jacobson across the country on a heartbreak-induced road trip in June 2017 as she realizes she is not at all a bed-and-breakfast person, struggles with insomnia, and recalls stashing weed in the Kiddush cup from her bat mitzvah. Jacobson tells New Times writing the book was 'a very cathartic experience.' She's currently on a book tour after wrapping up the fifth and final season of Broad City and will talk about her tome Saturday, November 17, at the Miami Book Fair. In I Might Regret This, Jacobson is more exposed than ever - which is saying a lot for someone who has appeared onscreen wearing nothing but underwear and a strap-on and who once lip-synched to Lady Gaga naked. It seems Jacobson, who shares a name with her brash onscreen Broad City character, in reality is often a private, guarded person. In the past, she hasn't talked much about her personal life, which makes the sheer candor of her debut novel all the more daring. I Might Regret This: Essays, Drawings, Vulnerabilities, and Other Stuff is a look into actor and writer Abbi Jacobson's life that might surprise Broad City fans.
