Hey there, I’m Tessa Claire Hersh. I am an actress, writer, singer, and comedian.

I am an actress, writer, singer, and comedian who also happens to have a master’s degree in Somatic Psychology. I like kids, dogs, ice cream, rainbows, sparkles, hugs, and the darkness that lurks within.

I was selected as a performer in the ABC DIVERSITY SHOWCASE and won “BEST ACTRESS IN A COMEDY” at the New York Television Festival for my work in Smuchr, which itself won “BEST COMEDY” in 2018. My recent credits include YOUNGER, DESUS & MERO, and THE BREAK W/MICHELLE WOLF, as well as my commercial work as the spokesperson for H&R BLOCK. I was a performer of the critically acclaimed, off-broadway, improvised comedy Blank! The Musical and can regularly be seen performing in New York comedy theaters including the Upright Citizens Brigade and The People’s Improv Theater.
