Why did you want to be part of the “SNL U.K.” cast? It’s a no-brainer; it’s the most iconic comedy show, and it looks like so much fun. It will undoubtedly inform everything I do for the rest of my career, and I can’t wait for the experience. It’s SNL!!!
What is your background in live performance or sketch comedy? I trained at drama school and began working professionally in theatre. Over time, I found myself increasingly drawn to comedy and started doing stand‑up alongside my acting work, and that naturally led me to make short sketches online.
