I am an actor/comedy writer/director and have recently made two award winning comedy web series, Lonely in Lockdown and The Band Formerly Known As https://www.youtube.com/c/TheBandFormerlyKnownAs, co-written with my daughter Sabrina Parker, who also starred in it with Laura Evelyn (Good Omens, Last Christmas, Dr Who) and Meaghan Martin (Disney's Camp Rock).

I performed stand up for a year at almost every comedy club in London but decided I preferred being behind the scenes. I directed the comedy The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang at the Park Theatre in 2019, starring Meaghan Martin.

I have written for Radio 4's Recorded for Training Purposes, Laurence and Gus and Laura Solon with my writing partner Maureen Oakeley. We also wrote and performed many sketch shows, including Eyes Up Here! Radio Rejects and Channel 53 at the Albany, Hen and Chickens, Canal Cafe and The Hard Rock Cafe. Our live sitcom, All I Need is a F**k Buddy was an audience favourite at the Sitcom Trials and also had a sold out run at the Canal Café.
