“I had such a bizarre, complicated, kind of devastating and funny experience in college. Overcompensating is for everybody feeling like they’re just inherently unlovable and they have to do so much to make up for it, but they’re going about it the wrong way because I don’t think we are inherently unlovable. That’s the whole point.”
A longstanding darling of the online cosmos thanks to his scandalous wit and A-list parodies (Kourtney Kardashian, Shawn Mendes, Timothée Chalamet) – Benito Skinner is now transferring his qualifications to the small screen, with college-set, coming-out sitcom Overcompensating. Covering our Spring/Summer 2025 issue, he reflects on his graduation into Hollywood, the sinuous path of queer young adulthood, recruiting Charli xcx to score the show and the potential for Spongebob to be an icon of gender fluidity.
