Comic actress Rebecca Humphries is adding another string to her bow at this year's Fringe by writing the musical Prom Kween, an original musical that promises to be Grease meets Drag Race meets a Trump rally with sequins.

Laugh Out London, 25th June 2017Returning to comedy after straight acting
I'm what they call a "serious actress". No, seriously. I have worked at St Paul's Cathedral during the Occupy London protests at the Donmar Warehouse, jumped in front of a train in 19th Century Russia at the Hampstead Theatre, and even done a stint as a prostitute at the National. The performers in my new musical Prom Kween are mostly classically trained, have credits including the Almeida, Royal Shakespeare Company and ITV Drama amongst them.

The Public Reviews, 3rd July 2014The Rebecca Humphries three minute interview
Disney lied to Rebecca Humphries. She never married a Prince, her flat is no castle, and her nannies definitely never looked like Julie Andrews. Martin Walker emails the Comedy Central star about her Edinburgh Festival Fringe Show, Dizney Rascal.
