biography
I have been performing stand-up comedy for 10
years. I also enjoy writing, researching and developing
comedy and presenting ideas.
My first taste of London was with the National
Youth Theatre of Great Britain as an actress,
where I discovered my love of comedy and acting
aged 16. I later moved down to London for a degree
in Theatre Design and to continue the long walk
on the theatre boards.
My Comedy topics are very wide ranging, from
topical to interesting stories to talking about
my past. I was adopted at birth in Africa and
then moved to Scunthorpe in North Lincolnshire,
I had to overcome bulling and racism before finding
the confidence to stand-up. Subsequently, I am
a woman on a mission!
Like all comedians, I believe that I am unique!
I worked as a professional dancer for 4 years
until 2000, travelling all round the world with
clubs such as 'The ministry of sound' and 'Carwash',
before concentrating on comedy and writing. I
still model and I have landed jobs for Nivea,
‘Abbey National’ UK campaign and London
Electricity advertisements to name a few.
I was nominated for an EMMA award in 2004 for
my comedy work, and this encouraged me to diversify
into other mediums such as Radio and presenting.
I am currently in the process of writing a documentary
about adoption and also working on my one woman
show.
My act is clean, fun and quirky, I am completely
at home working either as a compere or performing
my act.
My work takes me all around the UK as I perform
at comedy clubs, corporate and charity events.
If you are interested in contacting me for work,
please do so through my agent or email me direct.
Many thanks.
