“Anything I’ve Enjoyed Doing in My Career I Can Trace Back to a Little Thing That I Did, a Little Step That I Took”: Sarah Coffey, Back To One, Episode 379

Sarah Coffey starred as Eva Shapiro in the feature film 31 Candles, and instantly made her an iconic romanic comedy character. She can also be seen in Queens Of The Dead, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. And her viral success as a comedian led to a role in Stapleview, the first-ever fully produced live sketch show on TikTok. On this episode, she talks about the blessings and drawbacks of finding a spotlight through her own online content. She takes us back to her early days, discovering an early love of singing, and talks about how that ties in to a knack for impressions, accents, and the melding of comedy and music. She talks about what she gleaned from people like Terry Knickerbocker and Bob Krakower, the importance of “building a muscle memory of experience,” why she likes to get immediately off-book, gets us excited about her upcoming film Mouse, and much more.
