Biography
She studied at Tiffin Girls' School (Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey), and then read Classics at St Hilda's College, Oxford before moving to the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art where she met Chris O'Dowd, fellow The IT Crowd lead, for the first time.
During her studies she left the course to star in the play The Age of Consent. Her subsequent career has seen her star alongside well known British actors such as Martin Clunes and Julie Walters. In 2007 she appeared in a new translation of Chekhov's The Seagull at the Royal Court in London, alongside Kristin Scott Thomas and Mackenzie Crook.
She recently contributed sketch characters to Katy Brand's ITV2 show, having been friends with Brand since Oxford. She has also appeared several times on BBC Radio 4, including on Mouth Trap,[1] again with Brand, and in The Odd Half Hour.[2]
She also stars in a television advertisment for Maltesers. Her mother teaches English at James Allen's Girls' School.
