Page One - The Writer's Podcast Ep. 120 - Tessa Coates discusses writing stand-up, creating talking TV mice with Greg Daniels and much more!
This is one of a special series of short episodes speaking to some of the best comedians appearing at this year's Edinburgh Fringe! These episodes will be released daily during the week of 8 August 2022.
Tessa Coates is a writer, performer, journalist, comedian and one third of critically acclaimed sketch group Massive Dad. Her debut solo show Primates sold out the entire run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and ran at the Soho Theatre to more sell out audiences. She also performed her show in LA at the Lyric Theatre and Improv Lab following which there was a competitive situation to develop her first comedy series for TV in the US. The project landed at ABC Studios with Greg Daniels (The Office) and Howard Klein (3 Arts) attached to exec produce alongside her.
We loved chatting with Tessa about her comedy writing career, hearing about how she plans her stand-up, how she found herself writing a TV show with Greg Daniels, and much more!
