LINE-UP
Lynsey Bonell
Lynsey Bonell is a comedian, actor and writer, living and working in the UK and NYC, she often sounds Australian as she spent time in Sydney, but she is from the same town as Julie Andrews.
She is the co-host and co-producer of New York’s sell-out character show These Are Not My Words. She regularly performs sketch, improv and hosts the podcast Hot Goss with comedy collective TRASH. In Sydney her sketch team, Panda Smackdown was Time Out’s One to Watch. In Primary school she came third in the novelty race, so comedy has been her preferred form of sport for a while.
She's performed sketch, stand-up, character and improv comedy at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Melbourne Comedy Festival and Sydney Fringe and Comedy Festivals and she regularly performs in venues across New York.
Her work has been included in the Confinement Film Festival, digital campaigns for a social impact app, Medium and more.
Mariana Feijó
Mariana is a queer, Portuguese multidisciplinary artist, comedian, writer and photographer, with international practice, based in London.
Her practice started from a necessity to learn how to communicate and create community.
Inspiration derives from her personal experience, alongside what could now be useless scientific knowledge gained from a past in academia, and a fascination, discovered through working with Duckie and The British Museum, in using historical archives and research as a way to connect with audiences using stories old and new.
Her love of cinema, sex, food and community are driving forces for her.
Her production and photography work focusses on celebrating women, queer and immigrant voices, as well as other marginalised voices that fall outside the identities she inhabits.
Cerys Bradley
Not Over Thinking Things 2019 (WIP)
Cerys Bradley (Neurodiverse Review Awards Winner 2022) is not mean enough to be funny, apparently. But actually they're too mean sometimes. They find it hard to know where the line is. (Probably because it was drawn by neurotypicals...) Help them work it out at this WIP show. But, prepare yourselves. Cerys is going to try their best to be really mean. As seen on BBC1 Wales, BBC iPlayer & BBC Radio Wales. Tour support for Kiri Pritchard-McLean. “Very funny...Cerys gives so much of themselves...This is a must see" ★★★★★ Neurodiverse Review "Important as it is hilarious" The National Wales
