About this show
Edinburgh Comedy Award nominee and modern, normal person mines for LOLs in her sophomore solo show. A brave and landmark briefing on the most hilarious topics of all: ageing, Vinted and AI.

She's the absolute and total and main star of these things: Jurassic World: Dominion, Wonka, One Day (Netflix), Mash Report (BBC Two), Smoggie Queens (BBC Three), Deep Cover (Amazon), Lazy Susan (BBC Three). Still never heard of her? Shortest half of sketch-duo Lazy Susan: 'Outrageous and irreverent' (Guardian). 'Bright and bountiful, barely wastes a word' (Times).
