My first job was... Handing out flyers for a nightclub in Newcastle in the freezing cold from 10 at night til 1 in the morning. Sometimes I'd have to be in the club handing out shots or signing drunk people up for membership cards to get cheap drinks even though
drinks in Newcastle are already like, £1.
It taught me… that bringing vodka to work will help you keep warm and make working with drunk people more bearable but will also inevitably get you sacked when you get carried away and end up falling asleep in the office before your shift starts.
My big break came... with my debut show Lady Muck which absolutely snowballed at last years Edinburgh Fringe and became a smash hit. I highly recommend writing a show about a break up, it will get you nominated for lots of awards and you also get to go on an adventure to New Zealand.
The last job I quit was… a waitressing job in London. I quit it to try and have a go of doing comedy full time. That was a year ago and now I'm on the other side of the world doing comedy for a living instead of cleaning ketchup bottles and serving burgers to angry Londoners. I think I made a terrible choice, don't you?
The most famous person I've ever met is… Graham Norton!! He came to see my show in Edinburgh and I could hear his little laugh all through the show and I was trying so hard to keep cool but, in my head, I was like GRAHAM NORTON KNOWS I EXIST AND IS LAUGHING AT MY JOKES.
