About Me
I have an MA in Advanced Theatre Practice from The Central School of Speech and Drama.
My first solo work, ‘Under the Mumfluence’, funded by Arts Council England, is currently in development. I was selected to take part in ScratchMe, a character development scheme in conjunction with Fulwell 73 and BFI North - my short film Farmed Out was a finalist at Pigeon Laughs Comedy Fest and selected by Sunderland Film Festival.
I am one half of You Need Help, a comedy theatre duo delivering seminars skewering the self-help industry. ‘Leeds Need Help’ was commissioned by Leeds International Festival (2019) and their ACE funded ‘You Need Help’ show was performed at Leicester comedy festival in 2020.
I participated in Starting Blocks with Camden People’s Theatre, toured prisons with prison play ‘Barred’ and co-devised shows at Theatre in the Mill and Richmix London. I also perform improv comedy with Manchester troupe Murder Inc
