Education

About me

I am a Queer London based actor, writer, grotesque burlesque performer and comedian born in Newcastle. I have a degree in Physical Theatre which I gained at East15 Acting School and I have experience in stage, film, TV, commercials, immersive theatre and drag.
I am a keen theatre maker and often write and create my own work including writing and performing for Your Aunt Fanny, an all female comedy sketch group from Newcastle. We have just enjoyed a successful run of our sketch show Muff Said at SOHO Theatre and have recently signed with the production company Hat Trick and are writing a sitcom. We have worked with Channel 4, performed at Edinburgh Fringe and have a dedicated fan base in the North East.
I also co-run Moth Theatre, we specialize in children's theatre rooted in puppetry and physical theatre. I regularly play the role of Cat in Tall Stories' award winning production Room on The Broom, from the West End to Hong Kong, Singapore to primary schools all around the UK.
