#230: Paige Gallagher - Perfectionism

Rising comedian and creator Paige Gallagher is best known for her
unique yet universally relatable character parodies which
she self-writes, produces, and stars in. Paige initially rose to
digital fame via her videos on TikTok. She has
since racked up more than a million followers. Paige has
been cited by Los Angeles Magazine as a “comedian
making sizzling content right now”. Her comedy sketches draw on
her own personal life experiences.  


Paige continues to take the digital world by storm with her
debut, self-produced talk show, “Pillow Talk with Paige”.
Featuring Paige as the show’s head writer, producer, and host,
the digital series combines two things: her loves of oversharing
and lying in bed. The talk show features fellow creators and
creates a uniquely cozy atmosphere for guests to embrace the
relaxed and intimate conversations that usually occur while lying
in bed. The series aired its premiere episode on October 11th,
with nine total episodes slated to release weekly on Wednesdays
across Paige’s YouTube channel.


Paige also started an independent sketch comedy group called
‘Queerish’ that has been highlighted by local media and still
performs around LA today. In addition to her digital content
creation, Paige’s acting credits include titles such as the
Art Film Spirit Award-winning comedy film
“Garthwaite”, BET+’s romance film “Never and
Again”, the comedy television series “Adulting,” and
the TV movie “The Good Guys”. She has also extensively
studied improv and sketch comedy at Second City, Groundlings, and
the Upright Citizens Brigade, and can often be found performing
her latest stand-up sets at Hollywood Comedy and HaHa Comedy Club
in LA. She is currently hard at work on writing and
developing her own pilot project for television, in addition to
an hour-long stand-up comedy special.


We chat about improv & comedy, career ending injuries,
developing a sitcom, finding your voice, mentors, collaborating
with friends, life changing conversations with therapists, people
pleasing, content creation, mental side of being on the internet
and pillow talk.
