Baby Cow Productions has bolstered its scripted-comedy team with the appointment of Maisah Thompson as its new development producer.<\/p>\n

In her new role, Thompson will help grow the company\u2019s scripted-comedy slate and will be instrumental in the development of new comedy ideas. She will also look to expand the company\u2019s network of comedy talent. Thompson will report to Rupert Majendie, head of comedy development.<\/p>\n

Thompson joins Baby Cow from Objective Fiction, where she was most recently a junior producer for scripted-comedy development and responsible for a slate skewed towards young viewers (16-34). She also worked as an assistant producer on Arthur Mathews\u2019 Road to Brexit<\/em>. She previously spent time in development and production roles at BBC Studios on Upstart Crow<\/em> and at Hitchhiker TV, and later became Channel 4 Comedy’s in-house script reader. Thompson kicked off her career at FremantleMediaUK working on shows such as QI<\/em> and Celebrity Juice<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Rupert Majendie, head of comedy development at Baby Cow, said: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to have Maisah join our comedy team. Her inspiring love, understanding and knowledge of comedy makes her the perfect person to help us build on Baby Cow\u2019s comedy history.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thompson said: \u201cI am truly thrilled to be joining the brilliant Baby Cow team. I\u2019m looking forward to developing plenty of laugh-out-loud projects with a whole host of new and exciting talent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Coogan, creative director and co-founder at Baby Cow, added: \u201cIf you\u2019re part of Baby Cow, you want to trample boundaries and you\u2019ve got something to say. Maisah will help us grow comedy at Baby Cow through her hunger to champion hidden talent, crafting stories full of truth and humor in new and different ways.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
