Most feelings are surrounding the rules of adult female friendship and a sweet, radiated tortoise called Smooth Sides. Yep that’s right, sounds like a 5 star WIP to me too. Co-host of Trusty Hogs Podcast with Catherine Bohart. ‘A personality that will fill a stadium. Mark my words, this girl will not be performing in small venues for much longer’ ★★★★★ Sunday Express
As seen on Live at The Apollo and star of ITV2, BBC Three, Dave, Comedy Central and Radio 4 (★★★★ Evening Standard).
