Who What Why?

I am an improviser.
I am interested in people.
I like jokes and audiences.
I like to teach improvisation as a life skill, because it helps everything.
I write.  Scripts. Poems. Slightly too long instagram posts.
I also write songs. Probably a dozen a year, minimum.
You might have heard me on Radio 4, if you listen to it.

I wrote a book called Improv Your Life: An Improviser's Guide To Working With Whatever Life Throws At You.
​​​It is about the power of improvisation as ​a tool for the day to day.
Available in paperback, Kindle and audio formats. 
You can read an article about it here.

I am a core member of the Olivier Award winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical.
 I worked as the Dramaturg on 9 to 5: The Musical and wrote a mini-musical for Jack Whitehall's Christmas Special with Duncan Walsh Atkins, who often pops up in my work (because he's so bloomin' talented). 
I wrote Now That's What I Call A Musical! touring the UK from September 2024.

I am the ultimate modern hyphen job human, meaning I also work on non-showbiz projects like The Realisation Festival.

​I am the co-founder of Sunday Assembly - a network of secular Congregations around the world. You can read more about that here.
I am no longer directly involved with Sunday Assembly, but the project carries on and I watch its continuing journey with pride.

IS THERE ANYTHING SHE DOESN'T DO?
Yes. Extreme Sports, HGV driving, fishing, hunting for her dinner, tequilla slammers (not anymore, anyway) and housework.
