You’re just as sane as she is! Sofia chats with the MAGICAL Tessa Netting (Her amazing YouTube channel, the Fantastic Geeks Podcast, Spies Are Forever, Billy Elliott, Bunk’d)!!! Tessa made her Broadway debut at the age of 18 as the “Spastic Starfish” Ballet Girl in Billy Elliott. Tessa is best known for her Harry Potter and fandom-themed YouTube channel, which currently boasts 602,000 subscribers. Her videos range from parodies and vlogs, to original music videos to Potter-themed games. Tessa portrayed geeky scientist Barbara “Barb” Lavernor in the Tin Can Brothers musical comedy Spies Are Forever, and currently stars as Hazel in Disney Channel’s Bunk’d.

Tessa and I discuss the origins of her obsession with Harry Potter and musical theatre, her favorite Harry Potter cosplays that she’s done, her experience playing Barb in Spies Are Forever, her hopes for Barb’s future, her inspiration from Team StarKid and much more! Tessa is one of the original YouTubers and ultimate fangirls. She has worked on and helmed so many exciting projects in both the fandom world and the musical theatre world.
