🎙️ Season 3, Episode 3 - Tessie Tomas: Queen of Comedy, Champion of Reinvention

In this episode of The Loida Lewis Podcast, we sit down with the iconic Tessie Tomas - trailblazing actress, creative powerhouse, and one of the Philippines’ most beloved comedians.

Tessie shares her inspiring journey from humble beginnings as a radio voice talent at just 10 years old to becoming the first Filipina creative director of McCann Philippines. She opens up about her rise to fame through unforgettable impersonations and live performances, and her fearless transition to drama in Dirty Linen and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo as Senyora Bettina.

Now living in the Isle of Man with her husband, British marine biologist Roger Pullin, PhD, Tessie reflects on a life well-lived, and the joy of watching her son, Robin, transition from fashion to stand-up comedy in New York City.

With wit, wisdom, and warmth, Tessie reminds us that reinvention has no age limit - and authenticity is always in style.
