After graduated with a Bachelor Fine Arts in Acting from QUT Brisbane, Australia way back in 1992, I moved to London, and for the next 10 years I was the only female street performer in Covent Garden (and one of only four women world-wide to perform and tour a solo-circle show).
I was known as the ‘flaming limbo lady – with the finale of my act involving stripping down to a madcap corset and setting my boobs on fire as I descended under a flaming limbo pole!
I was also working on the London stand-up comedy circuit during this time with highlights including headlining at the Vancouver International Comedy Festival and the Women in Comedy gala at the Edmonton Street Performers Festival. I was featured on Funny Business for LWT and eventually retired from both comedy and street performing with an appearance on The Graham Norton Show in 2003.
As an actor I had small roles in film and television including The Bill, One Foot in the Grave, Queer as Folk… the list goes on, and continued my theatre training with courses at RADA in London and Shakespeare & Company in New York and even returned to Australia to work with Queensland Theatre Company on the inaugural production of Composing Venus.
With SAVVY Theatre I performed onstage (and in parks, on boats, city streets, museums and art galleries) in a variety of roles. Highlights include Titania in A Midsummer Night's Dream, as Feste in Twelfth Night as part of the RSC's Outdoor Summer Season, the Cook in Alice In Wonderland sailing up and down the River Thames, and as Carlo Collodi in Pinocchio on the iconic Concert Stage at Fairfield Halls.
