from ConversationsRadio · host Conversations Radio
(7/28/2021) Mike and cohost, actress Analesa Fisher were joined by actress, writer and comedian Maeve Press for episode 104. A native of New York - now in LA, Maeve Press landed the role of Genevieve - starring opposite Josh Thomas and Kayla Cromer on the Freeform series ‘Everything’s Gonna Be Okay’ now in its second season on Hulu. Maeve has made this role her own and her comedic skills are certainly put to good use on the show. About to turn 18, Maeve has wisdom beyond her years which is probably why she comes across as real and confident. Discovering that being laughed at was fun and cool is the genesis of her interest in comedy. Maeve Press is blazing a trail as a standup comedian. Her material is original and inspired by the humor found in life experiences and random discoveries. Slightly edgy, Maeve Press feels at home on-stage and has performed standup sets at bars, comedy clubs and festivals everywhere. At 14, She was the youngest comic ever to perform standup at Boston's ‘Women in Comedy Festival’ and has played other festivals including Hoboken and will once again be appearing at ‘Burbank Comedy Festival’ in August. Maeve fell in love with the arts early on perhaps by osmosis. Maeve’s parents, C. Fraser Press and Darren are award-winning filmmakers and have produced some amazing films. Maeve starred as ‘Tuesday McDermott’ in the Award-Winning indie film ‘Theresa Is a Mother.’ She also co-wrote and stars as ‘Nora’ in the indie film short ‘Too Many Buddhas’ – now on the indie film festival circuit. The film is a bronze medal winner at the ‘Just For Laughs Film Festival’ in Quebec and will screen at ‘Dances with Films 2021 in late August. Enjoy the podcast!
