Clearblue Commercial
I said to a Canadian girlfriend as I waited to audition for the Clearblue spot “I never get the ones for British accents”. How wrong can one girl be? This was a fun and quick gig – thanks to Rebecca at Leo Burnett and everyone at Eggplant Productions. Click on the “play” button below to hear the Clearblue commercial.

Read MoreWonga radio spot
For those of you who haven’t heard it yet, here’s the radio spot I recorded for Wonga a couple of weeks ago. It was recorded at Pirate Radio and directed by Terry O’Reilly. Side note: Before we stepped into the studio Terry told me that the Philips Bodygroom spots were a highlight of his career. When he tours with his speaking engagements he uses them as his “closer”. He told me “Everyone laughs so much that I can just wave and walk off stage.”...
Read MoreWeetabix “Big Day” Commercial
I have loved Weetabix ever since I was a kid. Cold milk in the summer. Hot milk in the winter. Loads of sugar on top or a banana… So imagine my unalloyed glee when I booked a voice gig doing the product blurb on the end of a hugely popular British commercial that’s going to be shown here in Canada.

Read MoreNinjamaica
Ninjamaica is a cartoon pilot I voiced for Teletoon alongside a bunch of other Toronto stand-up comics. Although it seemed to be incredibly popular, given the feedback, it has not yet been made into a series. On Sunday night I watched Ninjamaica again with great excitement – it aired for the first time on Teletoon in the Fred at Night slot. Fred himself admitted in his introduction to the show (and on his blog) that he would be willing to date one of the characters – 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 producing and mcing Storytelling at Caplansky's, that is. And that's me for you.
