5th November 2024

Fun session in the studio up in London today giving my “Santa” for a Christmas radio ad.


This Christmas

Really looking forward to being back for my seventh season at The Theatre Royal Bath this Christmas to celebrate my 25th year playing Dame. As well as Jon it’s great to be sharing the stage again with Olivia Birchenough (we filmed Jon’s online pantomime, Pantomonium at the Blackpool Grand in 2020); Emma Norman (who’s back again after her brilliant “Carabosse” in “Sleeping Beauty” last year); and Kieran Dumont playing head dwarf, Prof ( who I worked with in 2012 at the Assembly Rooms, Tunbridge Wells in his first panto).

Looking forward to making new friends too!

Jon’s written another great script and there’s a lot of fun to be had.

Thrilled to be returning to the Theatre Royal, Bath this Christmas for my 23rd consecutive year playing Dame (and my 5th Panto season in Bath). Great to be back playing Jon Monie’s Mum, and to work again with Tom Lister (we were both in “Pantomonium”, the 2020 Blackpool Grand online panto written by Jon), and Michael Chance (who I last worked with in Sleeping Beauty in Basingstoke in 2010).

November 2021

Monsters in Metropolis – Big Finish

Had a lot of fun playing the part of Fritz Lang in this fantastic new Dr Who story from Big Finish, which I recorded back in January.

Monsters in Metropolis is the third and final story in the audio anthology Lost Warriors, produced by Big Finish Productions. It was written by John Dorney and featured Christopher Eccleston as the Ninth Doctor.

“Berlin 1927 – The making of Metropolis, but death stalks the film set. The new ‘Machine Man’ is a more terrifying vision of humanity’s future than Fritz Lang had in mind…”


Christmas 2020

Unfortunately we weren’t able to perform the panto live with an audience; a recorded performance was streamed instead.
