In My Life in Ruins, former SNL funny lady Rachel Dratch plays a member of a ragtag group being led by Nia Vardalos (My Big Fat Greek Wedding) on a bus tour through Greece. She chatted with AMC News about the stereotypical American tourist, the down side of shooting at the Acropolis, and her new musical that -- might be -- headed to Broadway.

A: You know, I don't know. I haven't seen the movie yet. Actually, I'm curious to know how I turn out. I think I kind of become a little less annoying as the movie goes on. But, annoying equals funny. Have you seen it?

Q: Yeah, you're just as funny in the end.

A: Oh, phew, thank you.

Q: You and Harland Williams (Employee of the Month) make quite a couple. Was this your first time working with him?

A: Oh, yeah. This was my first time with Harland. He definitely has a unique sensibility. He's kind of a crazy dude. But in a good way.

Q: It's a motley cast of characters to be trapped on a bus with. Have you ever been on one of those travel group tours?

A: I have not. I've done some bike trips, but that's a whole different clientele. The good thing is while shooting, the cast all got along really well. A lot of us didn't have many lines on a lot of days. When I looked at the script, I thought I would be off gallivanting all the time. But I realized when I got there, we're actually in every scene -- just in the background. It kind of became a joke: Oh, who has lines today? So we got used to just hanging out together. The couple that plays the Australian couple, they're hilarious! They kept me laughing a lot.

Q: Shooting in Greece sounds like a pretty good gig. Had you been there before?

A: No, this was my first time in Greece. So that was an extra bonus to getting the part -- getting to go to all those cool locations. We actually shot in Spain too. A lot of times, Spain doubled for Greece. I mean, we were at the real Acropolis. But the locations had been pre-arranged to shoot at through the Greek government and everything. So we had to work hard to get all the shots in -- we didn't really have much hanging out time there. Not as much as I thought I would. I kind of thought I was going on a paid vacation.

Q: So what else do you have cooking?

A: Well, I just did an episode of Ugly Betty that airs in the end of May. I got to play twins in that, so that was really cool. And I did this musical, believe it or not. It's called Minsky's and it's by the writer of The Drowsy Chaperone, the music is by Charles Strauss. We did a run in L.A. over the winter. It's supposed to go to Broadway -- we'll see.
