Is this your first time to Bedfringe?

It’s not, I think it may be my fourth. Bedfringe is always a really warm supportive crowd, perfect for when some of the stuff I’m trying might not necessarily be 100% yet. They’re a comedy-savvy crowd and I’m not just saying that to butter up my audience members!

What are the big things you’ve learned since 2021 and have you absorbed any of the lessons yet?

I’ve been doing all sorts of stuff – making art videos for kids on YouTube, illustrating kids books, making comedy videos, writing children’s books – I’m like Little Britain’s Dennis Waterman (RIP)

Tell us about your show.

Well, it’s a mixture of stupid jokes, (did I mention I’m the three-year holder of the Edinburgh Festival Funniest Joke?), audience interaction, weird videos and a very loose thread running through it about my cat.

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

I’m actually going to be heading straight off for a quick holiday straight after my show but I’d love to have been able to catch Matt Winning’s Hot Mess. Matt is equal parts funny, talented and intelligent, his show is all about climate change and it is going to be really good.
