The Independent

Wednesday 2nd November 2011


An article I wrote for The Independent has been published. You can read it on The Indpendent website here.

It's about how there's more chicks in comedy now.

I am like some kind of journalist. Almost exactly like one. Except I know way less about current affairs and stuff. But I know about this. So have a little read, why not.

Pre Edinburgh PR Trail

Saturday 30th July 2011


Sell sell sell.

Brian Donaldson's top picks of five hot debutants for The Edinurgh Festival List:

"Catie Wilkins. She's a little bit nice and a lottle bit naughty. A Chip off the Odd Block should result in some sparks flying."

Interview for Edinburgh Spotlight is up here. Picked as a recommendation in The Guardian. Liisted in London is Funny's 'Edinburgh Is Funny Top 10 Newcomers.'  Spotlight interview on London is Funny. What's in your Edinburgh luggage interview.

Also I tweeted a joke that ended up trending on Twitter. It seems the cool thing to do, would be to not mention it, and act like that's a normal occurance. But I am not cool. I was excited.

Comedy For Kids

Wednesday 25th May 2011


I did Comedy For Kids at the Soho Theatre on Saturday. It was weirdly scary but actually a lot of fun. Ten year old boys Birthday parties are not massively dissimilar to stag do's, it turns out. (Thought much cuter).

The rest of the photos are available on Flickr.com.

And you can follow Comedy For Kids on Twitter here:
