After the Covid lock down I started to find myself back acting more alongside my directing work and it has been a thrill to be back.
Since 2023 I have been touring with different 2-handers and in 2025 I opened a 1-woman panto adaptation of A Christmas Carol.
Essential a stage actor I do love acting to camera too. I am available for long & short jobs.
​
I fell in love with improv in 2014 and haven’t looked back since. I am now an experienced improviser performing around the UK and abroad.
​
Currently I am performing with the Improv Duo Bendy House, the Dogface House Team. I also direct/perform with the trio, Dangerous Minds, and the ensemble The Guest.
​
Bendy House have completed four runs at the Edinburgh Festival. Bendy House performed throughout the Uk, at the International Copenhagen Improv Festival 2019, IO Chicago and at Second City, Chicago.
The Doghaouse Improv House Team perform regularly at the Norwich Puppet Theatre and at venues throughout the UK and of course each year at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
​
Get in touch if you want us to come and perform or coach.
​
I am a Dogface Improv senior coach, teaching improv, improv workshops and using improv in my wellbeing work. Dogface Improv run workshops, classes and drop ins, as well as perform and hold jams, see more here: https://www.dogfaceimprov.com/

During lockdown I had the lead in the scripted web series called You Know Carol, written by James Stedman and directed by RIchard McNally. You can find all 8 episodes on YouTube.
​Where I have been inspired and continue to learn from:

Workshops
​
-
Character – how do we find character with just ourselves – the choices are endless.
-
What’s your go-to? – How do we stride to push ourselves out of our safe zone?
-
Duo’s – what can happen when there’s only two of us on stage? A great one for all those looking to work in a duo, or those wanting to gain more from their two person scenes.

What's your go-to and let's not do it.
