Holly Walsh

Holly Walsh is a rising comedy star, winning the Chortle Best Newcomer award. She regularly appears on Mock the Week and 8 Out Of 10 Cats.

The Cambridge art historian has already packed a lot into a relatively short career, starting with a comedy writing course whilst working as a gallery assistant. Appearances on Radio 4's News Quiz soon turned into spots on Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe and Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Holly co-presented the TNT Show for Channel 4 with fellow comic Jack Whitehall, then turned her hand to children's television - stepping in at the last moment on CBBC. With Frank Skinner as an early champion, Holly's infectious blend of the topical and the ridiculous is earning her an ever-growing fanbase.
