"When I left school, I came out and moved in with my Gran. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I left, so started as a glass collector in Delmonicas bar in Glasgow before working my way up to be an Assistant Manager.
"When I think back, comedy has always been part of my life. I’d spend Friday nights watching lots of telly with my Mum, and then when I went to live with my Gran, we’d love devouring Spitting Image, Cheers, Roseanne, Lily Savage, The Golden Girls and then moving on to Ab Fab and Reeves and Mortimer.
"Our homes were always filled with laughter, you’d always find me in the kitchen at parties having a laugh. Laughter has helped me cope through some challenging times and it’s been a constant throughout my childhood and up until now. What was a coping mechanism has brought me so much joy, it’s so much more than a job to me.
