Luisa Omeilan interview

"My grandfather flew for the RAF in the Second World War, and was settled by the government in Bristol. My parents came over 40 years ago. Polish was my first language, and nobody here spoke it when I was born. So my first bit of comedy was making the neighbours' kids laugh, by being really clowny and physical. I love making foreigners laugh; where I have to reach them just with personality."
