I am an actor and comedian with a disciplined work ethic. I have been on stage since childhood and most recently have gained 11 years’ experience of diverse acting and comedy roles, as a member of Teatro Theatre School and Leamprov (Leamington Improvised Comedy), a touring improv comedy troupe. I have extensive experience of both working in professional theatres and adapting to informal performance spaces, such as festival grounds, churches, foyers, parks and pubs.

I am adept at, experienced in and thoroughly enjoy improvised performance and performances involving audience participation and interaction. I have also had the opportunity to direct and host Leamprov shows and seek to contribute to the administrative side of shows and theatre companies that I am involved in, sitting on the Board of Directors for Teatro Theatre School and the festivals committee for Leamprov.
