About this Event
In this offbeat comedy memoir, actress and late bloomer Kate Flannery—best known as Meredith Palmer on NBC’s hit series, The Office—shares her journey from waiting on Hollywood’s rich and famous to getting her big break at age forty.
As an Irish American bar owner’s daughter, Kate was born to play a TV drunk. Before landing her breakout role as Meredith Palmer on The Office, Kate worked tirelessly as a waitress, back-up singer, movie extra, off-Broadway actor, host and comedian, grinding day and night to make her Hollywood dreams a reality. In Overserved, Kate shares what it was like to go from serving celebrities in LA to becoming one herself.
While on The Office, she embraced the unapologetically inappropriate character of Meredith. Sticking to the mockumentary style of the show, she boldly wore little to no makeup on screen, performed a lot of her own stunts, and worked with the writers to create some of the most memorable moments in TV history. With behind-the-scenes stories from The Office and finding true love on set, fans will get answers to their burning questions: Did Kate really shave her head? How did they film the scene of Meredith getting hit by Michael Scott’s car? You’ll have to read to find out!
Kate’s story is a testament that it’s never too late in life to achieve your dreams. Little did she know that observing the cast of characters who frequented her father’s bar throughout her childhood would provide inspiration for getting the part that changed her life. At the heart of it all, every day was a good day at The Office.
