How did you get into comedy?
I was dating a comedy nerd who wanted to try standup, so I researched comedy courses for them as a gift. The same day, I quit a job – which I hated – and my ex decided this was also a great time to break up with me. (It was always their empathy I admired.) Anyways, I got an email saying a space had become available on the course the following week and did it myself.
What inspired your show She’s Got the Look?
When I started out, I got into the last round of a competition and was told I “sound good but look a mess”. So the show is me trying to figure out which bit of me is the mess and why we make assumptions about people based on how they look – when we should really judge people based on whether they think a Jaffa Cake is a cake or a biscuit. That’ll tell me everything I need to know about you.
