Absolutely chuffed to be a creative mover, shaker and comedy maker on the Exeter comedy scene. Huge chapeau to all the brilliant funny folk bringing such a rich mix of comics, venues and ideas to this growing hotbed of humour.
It’s all featured in a fabulous five-page spread in May’s edition of Devon Life magazine (pp.102–106). Big thanks to James Banyard for championing comedy and shining a light on this valuable artform in Exeter.
And the buzz is already building for Exeter Comedy Festival 2026. So many fantastic acts. So much excitement. Get booking.
My all-women’s comedy mash-up at the festival on 4 June is nearly sold out, and there are only a handful of spaces left on my festival stand-up workshop. Come and have a go at writing a joke or two — no pressure to be funny.
Comedy matters, whether people realise they need it or not. It’s been wonderful seeing so many of my comedy students flourish, with some now storming stages around the country — from Ashburton to Brighton to Manchester and beyond. Catch them at this year’s festival.
I’ve also got new comedy masterclasses launching in July — check out my website for more information.
As usual, a huge thanks for your support from Maggie and the team :)
