THE COMEDY THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
I am a one-woman radical reinvention of personal development.
Mixing psychology and neuroscience facts with comedy, my show is never the same twice. Laugh, learn & reflect on what it is to be human.
Whilst a comedy show will not deal with some of the more serious states of mental health and well-being, it could give an opportunity to give useful insights to people who would not be comfortable even on the softest therapy couch.
I worked in theatre having studied a BTEC Diploma in Performing Arts and trained as a stage manager at the Royal Central school of speech and drama. I was mainly behind the scenes during my career with the odd ‘chuck her on stage’ moments due to cast illness. I produced and performed a one-woman show at the New End Theatre in Hampstead. I then went on to do intuitive comedy in London which played at several West End and fringe venues. In San Francisco, I trained in improv Theatre and playback Theatre and played at venues in San Francisco and New York.
I also stage-host conferences and award shows.
