Biography
Press:
"Fast-paced, high-octane comedy with brilliant routines...entertaining throughout and leaves everybody wanting more." - Gigglebeats.co.uk
"I am pretty sure we will be hearing a great deal more about her. She was, quite simply, a superb opener act (for Michael McIntyre) and is destined for bigger things. I will never ever watch the Lion King in the same way again! If you get the chance, go see her. She will be big and she will be famous, so do it now before you are paying £25 for the privilege." - Alex Hepple, Comedy Chords
"Raucous!" - Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph.
