I’m a clown, artist and performer from Bristol via London and originally from the Fenlands of East Anglia. I like to make ridiculous comedy about sometimes serious subjects and as a working class, neurodivergent, woman my life has been ripe for it. Themes that keep popping up in my work are around snobbery in the art world, classism, sexism and new age hippie culture.

 

I’ve trained in clown since 2017. Since then I've worked with many inspiring teachers including Lucy Hopkins, Peta Lily, Jon Wright, Jamie Wood, Holly Stoppit, Jon Davison, Bim Mason, Angie Belcher, Dan Lees, Sarah Fielding and Robyn Hambrook of the Bristol Clown School. And many years of improv classes with the Free Association in London, Write On in Cambridge and the Bristol Improv Theatre. 

 

I love making people laugh and I love the visual and visceral spectacle of theatre. For me comedy is empowering. I started my creative journey in 2010, as a visual artist, poet and singer, selling canvases, running workshops and body painting at clubs and festivals. I enjoy how experimental and unrecognisably avant-garde my practice has now become, with live performance and the embodied practice of clowning taking my focus. I come from a background where going to art school is completely foreign, so my creative education has been non-conventional and has a DIY punk spirit.​
