She is also the author of "Not That I’m Bitter", her acclaimed memoir exploring resilience, rejection and longevity in a competitive industry. Alongside her creative work, she founded the Comedy Women in Print Prize, supporting new female voices in comedy writing.
Expect sharp insight, strong storytelling and candid observations throughout—an engaging blend of conversation and guided wine tasting, led by one of the UK’s most distinctive and enduring comic voices.
