Two more new pages!
Blimey! All this website building for an actor friend of mine has really inspired me to add more material to the resume section of my website. I’ve been and gone and built another two pages! I was lucky enough to go to drama school at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School where I did the two-year post-graduate course in acting. I had some great roles but I think possibly my favourite was Camille in Red Noses. You really need to check out the costume I got to wear – my boyfriend at the...
Read MoreTwo new pages on my website
Craft services – how I adore thee. Yes, it’s true! In the middle of building websites for other people I’ve actually managed to update the resume section of this one! I’ve made a page for “The Good Times are Killing Me” which has a great picture of me and Kelly Rowan, and I’ve also made a page for “Murdoch Mysteries” with a link to the episode online – yes, finally you can see Emmy Paulk in all her glory! Scarily both roles seem to...
Read MoreGigs for week of September 7th 2009
This week marks the first anniversary of me doing stand-up. Yes, it was a year ago when I had my stand-up debut at the Black Swan Tavern following the completion of Dawn Whitwell‘s stand-up course. How appropriate then that I am involved in starting a new comedy room at Poor John’s Cafe in Toronto’s West End with some fellow graduates of Dawn’s class. The StandUp Sisters are launching a new monthly all-girl comedy night called West End Girls which debut’s this...
Read MoreCTVs press release for “The Good Times Are Killing Me”
Kelly Rowan and Vinnie Walsh in a scene from “Good Times” My Google Alert settings picked up CTV’s press release for “The Good Times Are Killing Me” today. Here’s what they had to say: When power and scandal collide in a court of law, the line between fact and fiction can become easily blurred with crippling consequences. Executive produced by Shaftesbury Films (THE LISTENER, IN GOD’S COUNTRY) and Kelly Rowan (THE O.C., IN GOD’S COUNTRY), who...

Me and Rupert Graves in a scene from “The Good Times Are Killing Me”. Picture by Christos Kalohoridis of Shaftesbury Films. It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! A year after we shot the movie starring Kelly Rowan and Rupert Graves, “The Good Times Are Killing Me” airs on CTV – Sunday 13th September at 8pm. I’m so excited! Although I saw an (almost) final edit in England back in February when my husband and I visited Cris Cole, the...
Read MoreAbsolute is cancelled!
Er…..this is becoming a bit of a habit recently. Just to let you know I won’t now be appearing at Absolute Comedy tonight. But there’s a really good reason! I’m now going to be in at least three episodes of “Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures” and I have a lot of filming to fit in between rehearsals for “Toronto Noir”. I’m so happy – I’m really enjoying everything I’m doing right...
Read MoreLiving the Dream
When it’s going well, being a professional performer is the most fabulous job ever. I am having the best time (see the cheesy grin, left). It all happened so fast. I hadn’t had a job in six months and suddenly I landed a theatre job with Summerworks out of the blue. Just after rehearsals began I had a tv audition for “Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures” which I nailed (thanks to casting director Deirdre Bowen’s stellar direction) and got the part. So now I’m...
Read MoreMarilla who?
I am a British-born actress and stand-up comic who does lots of voice work (for commercials, cartoons and corporate clients) and sometimes, when I'm very lucky, tv and film. When I was in England I did mostly theatre. Now I'm in Canada I spend the majority of the time writing and performing stand-up. When I'm not making episodes of Talking Bollocks, that is. And that's me for you.
