Testimonials

  • Brent Forrester, writer./EP "The Simpsons," "The Office"

    Mary Gallagher is the most gifted Comedy Coach I have ever worked with. When I am developing a new TV Pilot, Mary is the first person I pitch it to!

  • Josh Loeb - Google Review

    Mary is brilliant. I worked with her on my first feature film, both as a comedy consultant (she coached our lead actor who was playing a comic) and as an actor in the film (she's a scene stealer). Mary is funny and smart and self-aware, she understands comedy deeply and has a way of sharing her understanding in a kind and humble way that pushes you to be your best while also not feeling intimidated. I hope I'm lucky enough to work with Mary again soon!

  • Katherine Yoon - Google Review

    At my first private class, Mary listed out some crucial points that other comics/teachers have missed from my set for years: to be true to one’s intention. She is not only sharp on how a comic’s writing can be improved, but also she has a heart of gold that brings out the best in each comic

  • Lily Duran - GigSalad

    I cannot thank our MC enough for the incredible job she did at my daughter’s quinceañera! She was everything we hoped for and more—professional, humble, helpful, and absolutely hilarious. She kept the entire event flowing smoothly and made sure every detail was perfect.
