Projects

• Something To Declare - Comedy Show: When Paddington Bear took the Immigration TestSomething to Declare is a stand up comedy show about immigration, based on my personal immigration story, and on the questions in the Life in the UK test for immigrants. Its modest but effective marketing campaign was based on the character of Paddington Bear, helped by the film that came out on 2015, the year in which the show featured at Edinburgh Fringe. It enjoyed full houses and lovely reviews.

Stand up comedian - a hobby and a part-time undertaking, I write my own shows and sets and perform on the comedy circuit and fringe festivals, at semi-pro level.
