- What is your Fringe show about?
Depression and anxiety, but also camping and soap. Intriguing.

I first came in 2009 and I have done two plays, one sketch show, three mixed bill shows, three panel shows and this will be my 3rd solo show since then. It’s been fun!

When I first kissed my husband in the library bar. Also, the year we were in a venue with an entrance down an alley way and someone did a massive poo in it on the third day which stayed right til the end.
- What’s the worst thing about the Fringe?
Probably the poo now I’m thinking about it.
- If you were not a performer what would you be doing?
Going on holidays and returning to the house I owned.

Spend nine years getting really good at comedy.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
