Her second hour is more ambitious, finding laughs in everything from being ‘fun-sized’ to the absurd inequalities of the built environment, with a surprising amount of material about loos. She’s got tall girl energy - whatever the hell that is - and (finally) isn’t afraid to use it...

When I first began crafting Kelly’s story, I wanted to create a thriller that would pull audiences in and never let them go. From the moment Kelly’s world is shattered by a tragic fire, I knew I was setting the stage for something intense, unpredictable, and profoundly human. This isn’t just a murder mystery—it’s a tale about survival, the complexity of relationships, and the darkness that lurks beneath the surface o...
