Actually Trying
The podcast. Self-improvement meets comedy, by accident. A year of genuinely trying to get my life together, plus Guru and Granny, where my mum marks the experts' homework.

I road-test modern life so you don't have to. Motherhood, wellness trends, family outings. Nothing is safe.

The short version
A comedic anthropologist of modern life.
I sign up for the thing everyone's talking about, do it badly in public, and report back.
I'm a British comedian, writer and mother of two small children, with a catastrophic history of sticking to anything. So I made that the job.
I trained as an anthropologist at Bristol, then did an MA in Creative Writing at Surrey on why funny women's memoirs help more than self-help books. These days I run the fieldwork on myself: on Instagram, on the podcast, and occasionally in a national newspaper.
What people get from me is a good laugh, and the sense they're not the only one.

Writing
Comment and features for national press, and a Substack for the longer thoughts. My Telegraph editor asked for no changes, which I'm told never happens.
