About me

I specialised in clowning and physical theatre at Drama School. As well as being an actor, I perform widely as a stand-up, impressionist and character comedian.

I currently write and perform in two sketch comedy groups (www.monkeywedding.co.uk and www.chaostheorycomedy.com) where I have completed four sell-out Camden Fringe shows, in a star-studded sitcom ‘Distinguished Ladies’ written by Smack the Pony writer Jane Bussman and appeared as a resident news panellist on 'The People’s Voice' TV channel show 'The Lock-In'.
