Most recently she has written the original piece ‘Forgotten Friends’ that went on a scratch tour in 2024. She is also part of a poetry/theatre company, Fish Productions with a fellow UWE graduate.

She has performed at multiple Bristol-based slam poetry nights and recently took Fish Productions piece ‘Corporate Floss’ to the Bristol Spark Festival.

Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

This will be our first time at Bedfringe- It still doesn’t feel real that we are doing this, but are beyond excited as Bedford is special to us. Freya (the other writer and performer) grew up here and is ready to bring her creativity back home.

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2023 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

Working too many hours (rip) whilst trying to reignite my creative spark. I have learnt that anger can be a great fire starter when given a safe space to explore. Life can be exhausting and will always give you the middle finger, so hold onto those silver linings.

Tell us about your show.

Corporate Floss is a personal (more than we’d like to admit) piece about two friends finally catching up again in a pub after a year. It’s so easy to get caught up in your everyday struggles and forget about your passions, so we decided to write those frustrations down, so expect a lot of swearing, drinking and extensional dread from this exploration piece.

What should your audience see at Bedfringe after they’ve seen your show?

Luke Rollason – just a truly phenomenal comedic actor so whatever they do will be groundbreaking and brilliant
