Biography

Award-winning comedian Holly Walsh has gone from occasional CBBC presenter to acclaimed comedy writer, live performer and panel show regular.

After studying art history, Holly began her career with a comedy writing course while she was working as a gallery assistant. After writing for Radio 4 and picking up a host of new comedy award nominations, she was soon appearing on Mock the Week, Would I Lie to You?, 8 Out Of 10 Cats, QI, and Live at the Apollo. She’s also a regular on Radio 4’s News Quiz, The Now Show, and Just A Minute.

As well as standup, Holly continues to write for radio and TV. She co-wrote Dead Boss with Sharon Horgan, and the pair teamed up again to co-create the acclaimed, acerbic parenting sitcom Motherland, as well as its spin-off Amandaland. In addition to writing her own sitcom The Other One, Holly’s also worked with such talents as Frank Skinner, Matt Lucas, Kathy Burke, Julia Davis, and Charlie Brooker.

Holly’s relaxed, conversational style, smart observations, use of Venn diagrams and slightly nerdy self-deprecation has won over live audiences at clubs and festivals world-wide.

“We have had nothing but positive feedback for her. She was a joy to work with.”
