 Coogan added: ‘If you’re part of Baby Cow, you want to trample boundaries and you’ve 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 humour in new and different ways.’

The company’s credits include Gavin & Stacey, Red Dwarf and This Tie With Alan Partridge.
