Rachel Marsh on crafting the ‘Hiccup’ pop anthem for Adults with director Paul Briganti

Rachel Marsh, the actor who plays Carly on FX’s Adults, is linked to the show’s pop-twinged moment in Season 2. The piece notes that the single “Hiccup” appeared in the episode “Pop Girlie,” and is now streaming on Hulu.

Marsh explains to a publication that she and director Paul Briganti “tried all different versions” of the song, treating the scene as both an earnest performance and a comedic moment. She describes approaching the livestream concept by balancing seriousness with comedic self-awareness, effectively using the exercise as acting practice to gauge how different versions land.

In-universe, Carly releases “Hiccup” while awaiting dental school exam results, with her boyfriend Samir (Malik Elassal) offering reluctant support. The storyline positions Marsh’s character on a path toward a pop-star fantasy within the show’s comedy framework.

Beyond Adults, Marsh is currently featured in the romantic-comedy The Love Hypothesis, which is available to stream on Prime Video.
