Read MoreI'm an opera singer, a satirical cabaret writer and comedian. I toured Europe for three years as the soloist with the André Rieu Strauss Orchestra, and have sung more than twenty lead soprano roles around the world.
I'm a specialist in Weimar Cabaret having released two CDs 'Smoke & Noise’ and Weimar & Back under the Nimbus Alliance Label. This led to a BBC Radio 4 programme about Weimar Cabaret with Barry Humphries. I wrote and performed in MARGO, half woman half beast at the Assembly Rooms 2018, which received 5 star accolades.
I've done 5 seasons at the EdFringe as a satirist and perform frequently at venues in London.
I have written articles for Spears Magazine, The Spectator and have been a regular guest on InTune on BBC Radio 3. I am currently developing an opera comedy radio show and will return to the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022 with a new character Clemenzia von Trunksale.
