  • What is your Fringe show about?

Depression and anxiety, but also camping and soap. Intriguing.

  • How many times/many years have you appeared at the Fringe?

I first came in 2009 and I have done two plays, one sketch show, three mixed bill shows, three panel shows and this will be my 3rd solo show since then. It’s been fun!

  • What’s your most memorable moment from the Fringe?

When I first kissed my husband in the library bar. Also, the year we were in a venue with an entrance down an alley way and someone did a massive poo in it on the third day which stayed right til the end.

  • What’s the worst thing about the Fringe?

Probably the poo now I’m thinking about it.

  • If you were not a performer what would you be doing?

Going on holidays and returning to the house I owned.

  • How do you prepare for a performance?

Spend nine years getting really good at comedy.

Breakfast at the City Restaurant.

Kicked a haggis over a highland cow.

Tatty scones! All. Day.
