Development and production
Ben Baur and Thandi Tolmay, who graduated from The American Musical and Dramatic Academy with series director TJ Marchbank,[1] conceived #Adulting while celebrating Baur's 29th birthday.[2][3] Baur said, "We came up with the idea for #Adulting because we wanted to tell stories that were tragically relatable to this really odd time in life, when you're supposed to be a grown-up and you're just ... not."[1][4] Baur is known for starring in the 2012–2015 web series Hunting Season,[5][6] and in 2015 was named by Out to its Out100 list.[7]
After two self-funded episodes launched on YouTube were well received by fans,[2][8] Baur and Tolmay funded the production of four more through a May 2016 Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign that raised nearly US $19K.[2][3][9] Guest stars include Drew Droege and David Del Rio.[2] The new episodes premiered on October 7, 2016 at the Brooklyn Web Fest, and were later put on YouTube.[2]
