Comedian Taylor Tomlinson to Star in Semi-Autobiographical ABC Series

“Last Comic Standing” alumna Taylor Tomlinson is on the road to getting her own show. Deadline reports that the stand-up comedian has a semi- autobiographical series in development at ABC. She’ll star in and co-write the project.

Currently untitled, the story centers on a young woman who tries to maintain a close relationship with her very religious parents while figuring out “how she wants to live her own life — which might involve touching someone else’s body, no matter what they told her at Bible Camp — all while acting as a surrogate mother to her new roommates — her two younger sisters,” the source details.

Becky Mann and Audra Sielaff (“The Real O’Neals,” “One Day at a Time”) penned the script alongside Tomlinson and are among the comedy’s executive producers. Tomlinson will serve as co-executive producer.

Other projects in the works at ABC include a modern “Pride and Prejudice” based on Curtis Sittenfeld’s “Eligible” and a psychic drama starring “Orange Is the New Black’s” Laverne Cox.

You can check out Tomlinson’s demo reel below. She started performing stand-up when she was just sixteen years old.
