On today's episode I talk to Aisling Bea. Originally from
County Kildare, Ireland, Aisling has been acting and performing
stand-up for over a decade. She's appeared on almost every TV
panel show in the UK including 8 Out Of 10 Cats (where she was the
first ever female team captain), Taskmaster, Qi, @Midnight and many
others. As an actor, Aisling has been in many shows, both drama and
comedy, including The Fall, Hard Sun, Damned, The Delivery Man,
Dead Boss and many others, and her new show Happy, which she
created with Sharon Horgan, was just ordered to series. And
finally, as a stand-up, she's appeared on numerous shows and
festivals. Her debut solo show at the Edinburgh Fringe, C’est La
Bea, was nominated for the Foster’s Best Newcomer Award and a year
later, she won the British Comedy Award for Best Female TV
Comedian. Her Netflix 15-minute special will be released later this
year.
