Performance

I create character comedy and interactive performances.

I write and perform quirky, interactive, and sometimes site-specific comedy experiences. A bit of clown, dark characters, and whirlwind of awkward interactivity, inhabiting an awkward space between reality and fiction. Some call it comedy, others immersive theatre and some say it’s performance art. I haven’t quite worked out what I call it yet.

I use humour, satire and audience interaction to create funny work that challenges the audience’s expectation of what comedy can be, asks important questions and playfully and teasingly explores the darkness all around us,  Funnier than it sounds!

I have taken work to festivals and theatres in the UK, Europe and the USA and had a series of sold-out online shows during the pandemic. I’ve appeared on BBC3. In 2025 I was awarded an Arts Council England DYCP Grant to develop my work further.

Based on my own journey through conscious festivals, cacao rituals, hugging workshops, sober raves, full moon ceremonies and mindless meditations.

The Sinner’s Sermon

Comedy/Performance Art/Immersive Theatre

A participatory, roaming, pan-religious procession with a series of rituals en route, culminating in a pseudo sermon and collective group purification, loosely based on the Jewish tradition of Tashlich, in which Jews cast off their sins into a body of water.

 

Ticked Off / Mr Good Name

Monologue

Ticked Off is a thoughtful, funny monologue exploring identity, politics, dating and antisemitism. Originally a TV documentary proposal, then a standup comedy routine, in 2021 Ticked Off was commissioned as a fast turnaround piece for “stage” by The Space Theatre’s Who Can I Be online festival, funded by The Arts Recovery Fund. I am now adapting this stage script into a documentary/comedy film: Mr Good Name.

BorderTinder

What would happen if you had to behave the same to people in person, as you do online? An interactive dating experience that revels in the very worst of digital communication. Swipe on real people, be just as mean as you are online.  Despite my best efforts, several couples really found true love!

Questicles

Comedy/Performance Art/Interactive Experience

After a bouffon workshop, I created Quesicles:. Part treasure hunt, part challenge game, part immersive theatre, part social satire. Curses, quests, and a very mean host. Can be presented as a small contained, site=specific event or a multi-day site wide game at summer festivals. Questicles offers players scope for immersion, interactivity and creativity, and has elements of chance in-built to the point that no two players’ experiences are alike.
