Gordon has been featured in a slew of comedy projects. In 2018, she starred in "Life of the Party" alongside Melissa McCarthy, Matt Walsh, and Maya Rudolph, and the following year, she appeared in the debut season of Hulu's "Ramy" (Ramy Youssef actually directed an episode of "The Bear" season two). In 2019, Gordon also appeared in "Booksmart" and Seth Rogen's "Good Boys." Then, in 2020, she starred alongside Rachel Sennott in "Shiva Baby" and with Geraldine Viswanathan in the romantic comedy "The Broken Hearts Gallery."
Gordon has said that being in so many comedies actually inspired how they filmed the improv-heavy "Theater Camp." She told IndieWire in a July 12 interview, "I've been lucky enough to work on a lot of comedies as an actor, and you always have 20 minutes at the end to play around [when shooting a scene] and then they end up always using that. I've just always had this dream of, why can't the 20 minutes be the full film?" The movie's script was more of an outline, and the actors had a lot of freedom to fill in the blanks.
