Broadcast & Live Credits
I write for Dead Ringers (BBC Radio 4), The Now Show (BBC Radio 4), Newsjack (BBC Radio 4Extra), DMs Are Open (BBC Radio 4Extra) and Breaking The News (BBC Radio Scotland).
I have collaborated on live material with Alistair McGowan, Darren Altman and Charlie Hopkinson. I was Script Editor on Simon Lipson’s podcast Making An Impression.
I’ve been top 20 in the Funny Women Comedy Awards, a semi-finalist in the Female Pilot Club and twice a runner-up in the British Comedy Guide Talent Writing Awards. And I’ve got some juicy scripts in development as we speak!
Sketch Comedy

Sketch Up is a smorgasbord of my radio comedy, which I perform live, including at Edinburgh Fringe and Leicester Comedy Festival.
Supported by Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Keep It Fringe fund.

“It all comes down to the intelligent and funny writing. Very accomplished and plenty of laughs. Quintessential fringe.”
