About Me!

This is supposed to be the easiest thing to write about. Well we will see? 

I once thought that growing up on a rough British council estate had made me streetwise and tough, only to realise later in life that it  disadvantaged my opportunities in life compared to fellow Brits. In comparison to most people in the world I am advantaged. I now where very strong glasses!

As a comedienne still performing a script I wrote many moons ago before the privilege of an education (which I am still, and hope always to be engaged in) I am frustrated with my profession.  It sounds like the best job in the world to some, and many assumptions spring to mind when somebody says “I’m a comedienne”…..That was probably one of my reasons for trying to be funny. Its a way of tickeling an ego which will never giggle! The life of show business, for me at least, was an expedition in search of positive recognition. The paradox however is that the stage brings out a person that even the performer doesn’t know and cannot believe, simply because we know the truth! Its a little like, going on a hike with no compass, or to take a cliche, ‘flying without wings’! 

That said, it has over the years given me confidence. Most of which was obtained whilst spending endless hours alone in my car trying to make sense of a wandering mind and un-filed thoughts. 

So from messed up beginnings, through lots of good luck and wonderful people, I learned that I needed to learn. About me! About others! Why and How things are the way they are, but mostly how to ensure that I die happy with what I’ve accomplished. 

Happy children who live their lives with a sense of justice and an understanding of others, especially those who are different from themselves. I’d like  a clear conscience and a mud hut by the sea, where hubby can fish and I can listen to waves….In the meantime, I’d like to make some waves of my own…….
