your best mate wouldn’t admit to. She is London-based and performs in venues across the UK, as
well as regularly appearing on the New York and Amsterdam circuits. Winner of New Comedian of the
Year 2018 Piccadilly Comedy Club, her other finalist credits include: Fresh Comedy Knights 2016,

Cally’s debut solo show, Super Cally Fragile Lipstick, was a sell-out hit at Edinburgh in 2017,
receiving 4**** reviews, national press coverage and picked as Best of Edinburgh Fringe by The Arts
Desk. Her 2016 Edinburgh show, Cat Call, with comedy partner Catherine Bohart, received a Malcolm
Hardee Award. Her radio and television appearances include: BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio London, BBC
Radio 6 Music; her first episode of QI on BBC2 went out in January 2018 and you can see her next
appearance in the autumn. She is a popular and seasoned speaker and MC on the corporate and
after-dinner circuits.
She relishes engaging with live audiences and turning gender stereotypes on their head. She is
awesomely funny. And modest too.
