About Me

6ft neurospicy insufferably delightful high energy comedian.

Nominated for the Neurodiverse Review ADHD Comedy Award 2024

Winner of Funny Women Comedy Writing Award 2022

Funny Women Stage Award “One to Watch” in 2021

Amused Moose New Act of the Year finalist 2019. 

My first pilot script won the Funny Women Comedy Writing Award 2022 and earned me a spot in Top 10 for Voices of the Future scheme 2022. I have been meeting with production companies and channels, while working on my next script(s).

 

I have conceptualised and produced a range of shows for festivals, each with its own distinctive and innovative concept. "An unconventional mix, the show has an infectious energy which cleverly blends the theoretical and inane with a hearty wit." - The Student, Edinburgh Fringe 2022.

 

I directed Dan Jones’ sell out debut show This Seems Ambitious at the Pleasance, Edinburgh Fringe 2023 which received 4-star reviews from Broadway Baby, Three Weeks, Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe, Theatre and Art reviews and was shortlisted for Amused Moose Comedy Award In 2023.

Since 2023, I have been running comedy training at Southampton University.  Working with the academics to translate their subjects into stand up. Participations spanning Digital Health & Data, Data Security, AI, Computing, Robots, Infrared photonics, Physics and Astronomy, Psychology, Clinical and Experimental Science and Quantum!

2024 I debuted at the Edinburgh Fringe festival with my hour show, eBae. A comedic exploration of my favourite website. It received glowing reviews from audiences, critical acclaim and was nominated for the Neurodiverse Review ADHD Comedy Award.

Comedy Training

Facilitation and comedy training workshops

Communication Skills

Stand-up comedy requires concise, clear, and engaging communication. These are transferable skills for explaining complex ideas and keeping audiences attention. Comedy helps break down technical barriers, makes big topics less intimidating and easier for non-experts to understand.

Skills Training Offered

  • Convince in talking to a group

  • Confidence in talking with a microphone

  • How to talk about your interest in a relatable and humorous way

  • How to make people laugh

  • How to create a story about your specialism in a relatable way with laughs!

  • How to develop short- to long-form comedy sets that can be delivered in compilation/mixed bill/solo shows

Public Engagement

The skills that can be learnt from stand up can be useful for conferences, public talks, and media interviews. Stand up comedy helps to reach an even further audience. We curated a mix bill show for the Brighton fringe, England's largest arts festival. We performed over the bank holiday weekend, both days sold out shows and were extremely well received by the audiences.

Engagement Opportunities

  • A one-off comedy night

  • A regular science comedy night

  • A multi-presenter comedy show that can be performed at/taken to schools or science festivals.

Upcoming shows

Join me for an hour of high energy silliness as I pitch to be eBay’s next brand ambassador. On eBay there is only one winner in a sea of losers, but in my show eBae everyone is a winner.
