About me
My solo show: 'Victoria Wood + ME' sold out 18 of 24 shows at the Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh festival Fringe 2015. Eccentric, old bags are my speciality. I love to play comedy straight for laughs and the more tragic comic characters who don't acknowledge the humour and eccentricity of their lives. I tour my one woman tribute to Victoria Wood, with her permission, including songs and sketches from her stand up days. There is something very special about entering another person's world on stage and inevitably finding something new about myself. I am a psychologist by original training and often called upon by media to comment on celebrity behaviour, once dubbed 'rent a gob' which suits. At home, in the Northants countryside, I learn lines while out walking the dog, she's my least critical audienceAdditional skills:
Grade 4 with merit singing Guildhall
Attended various courses in drama,comedy and stand up
I have a lot of experience of working in a chorus, particularly in professional run of Tale of Two Cities at the Royal Theatre Northampton in March 2014.
Additional information:
Performed at Gilded Balloon in Edinburgh festival Fringe 2015. Victoria Wood has given me permission to use her material for my one woman tribute called: Victoria Wood + me which has been touring since 2010. Nearly 2000 people have seen the 25 shows, with many returning a number of times. Gladys Winter is written by Louise Roche and the show directed by Jack Randle.
I was in the chorus of A Tale of Two Cities directed by James Dacre,adapted by Mike Poulton and music by Rachel Portman at the Royal & Derngate Northampton which had a three week run in February / March 2014.
