I prepare for any role I take on and hope it’s what the director wants and that the style of acting I’ve gone for matches what everyone else is doing! Also, weirdly, despite my stand-up background, I haven’t been in many comedies. Q Is it easy to switch between comedy and ‘serious’ acting?Ī I don’t think of it as comedy acting or serious acting. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve gained confidence from just learning more about who I am, avoiding toxic situations and people and being more present. Q Confidence plays a huge role in life especially in a public, media-facing job such as yours – would you agree?Ī Yes, but I think it’s also important to balance that confidence with authenticity so that you don’t feel you have to pretend to be something or someone you’re not. It’s a comedy so as well as coming up with a compelling story, I want people to laugh all the way through it. I’ve completed the book so now I’m working on turning that first draft into something vaguely readable and funny. At the moment I’m writing a book, so a typical day involves dragging my reluctant body to the gym before sitting down to a day of editing. Q You’re an extremely versatile talent, can you describe a typical day if there is such a thing for you?Ī I go through phases where my day looks a particular way. It was a great night and opened a lot of doors. As far as I was concerned, I was just this interloper who was winging it. I just couldn’t believe it, I’d only been doing stand-up for five months. In fact, when they called out my name, I checked with the other comics that it was definitely me who had won. Were you surprised by that?Ī Winning the Funny Women Award was a total shock. Q Early in your career you won the Funny Women Award (out of 180 competitors).

I had no aspirations to be on TV or tour or anything like that. Getting my acting career off the ground was slow in the early days, so I got into stand-up so I could perform more regularly. I just added stand-up to what I was already doing. How did you break into stand-up?Ī I didn’t switch lanes.
Q Shortly afterwards you changed and became a stand-up comedian. What spurred me on was the thought that I didn’t want to die having never tried. Working in TV for ten years gave me some experience and contacts that made it a little easier, but it was still terrifying. However, in my mid-20s, I had a quarter-life crisis and decided to give it a go. What attracted you to acting?Ī It was something I’d always wanted to do, but was too scared. Q Andi, you began your career in TV production and then started acting.
