After three years of studying Performing Arts at Middlesex University, I abandoned my original ambition of being Watford’s answer to Maria Callas when I discovered stand up comedy and realised how much fun being sarcastic to drunk people could be. It’s a fantastic job and I love it.
During the Edinburgh Festival 2000 I was awarded runner-up in the BBC New Comedy Awards, and since then have travelled all over the place making people laugh: London, Manchester, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Paris, and even Great Yarmouth. In May 2005, I made history by being the first female comedian (of any nationality) to perform stand-up in Russia (with a translator… it’s a long story).
I have performed at all the major comedy clubs in the UK including The Comedy Store, The Glee, Screaming Blue Murder, Just the Tonic, Highlights and Jongleurs.

As well as performing a set, I am also in demand as a compere. My compering work has included a residency at Windsor Arts Centre, Jongleurs, Highlights, the Glee and the Latitude Festival.

I have performed at various corporate and charity events around the country. For the past two years it has been my great pleasure to perform at the prestigious ‘Crying with Laughter’ Benefit for the Helen Bamber Foundation. http://www.helenbamber.org/news/crying-with-laughter/
My festival credits include Leicester Comedy Festival, Belfast Comedy Festival, London Respect Festival, Latitude Festival and Edinburgh Festival Big Value Show and OTK Road Show. In October I am performing in the Women in Comedy Festival in Manchester: http://www.womenincomedy.co.uk/2013/home.html
Along the way I have made appearances on several TV and radio shows including the now legendary Richard and Judy Show and the completely unknown pilot “School Uniforms”.
