Hello and welcome to my comedy world...I'm funny, evocative, enticing and frankly outlandish.
I love the funny
I'm an established UK comedian whose conquered the Edinburgh Fringe Festival with sell out performances at night with pie eating days. I create imaginative shows for audiences and clients.
*For press releases, media, photo's, show clips, bio, current projects, booking enquiries & to see my award winning cheese stash - get in touch
I am passionate about exploring types of humour, diversity, inclusivity and not forgetting the problem of people coughing on tube trains.
Challenging truths in the news and public arenas is important to me, I'm honoured to be a social commentator on shows such as the Nick Ferrari Show, LBC with Iain Dale, BBC Radio London 94.9FM and BBC World Service to name a few.
