LIVE COMEDY / STORYTELLING / THEATRE
Alongside TV work, I've written & performed live comedy and storytelling, as well as directing theatre, live comedy, radio and countless script readings
polite club
In 2019 I wrote & performed an hour-long storytelling / stand-up show that grew out of performing on the live comedy circuit and at storytelling nights. POLITE CLUB was about politeness addiction: how I came to realise I’d been pathologically tactful all my life, and reclaimed rude. A show for anyone who’s ever smiled through a car-crash date, apologised to a mugger, or risked death just to avoid embarrassment. The first rule of Polite Club is: you do not talk about Polite Club. Unless someone asks you nicely.

Pure hilarity
An assured and polished debut - and I'm not just saying that to be polite!
In this polished, consistently amusing debut, she confirms her emergence from her shell and her absolute bona fides as a comic
Engaging, intelligent and unflinchingly honest
DIRECTING
I’ve directed radio drama for the BBC, several plays at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and at London fringe theatres, as well as directing live comedy for other comedians and sketch performers. But what I’ve directed more than anything else is script-in-hand readings. This is my happy place: working with skilled actors to bring brand new work off the page, realising the writer’s vision, and making the lack of a set, locations or costumes a catalyst for ingenuity and imagination.
