Jazz Vocalist
When she’s not holding a microphone, Andrea’s holding a pen. Or rather: its modern-day equivalent. That’s right: a typewriter.
Andrea started writing comedy in autumn 2010 – and in her first year, she’s already been an additional writer on BBC2′s long-running comedy panel show Never Mind The Buzzcocks and BBC Radio 4′s flagship topical comedy show The News Quiz; written sketches and jokes for BBC Radio 4 Extra’s Newsjack; and regularly contributed jokes, sketches and songs for the live topical shows Newsrevue and The Treason Show. She was a joke writer for the topical web series The Leader Of The Opposition, and also writes jokes and links for Sky/Channel 4/Edinburgh Festival chatshow host Nick Wealthall. She runs the Comedy section of Huffington Post UK and is currently working on a romantic comedy feature film screenplay.
As a freelance writer specialising in entertainment, lifestyle and women’s content for the web, Andrea has also written and edited online features, reviews, opinion pieces, news stories and more for the likes of MSN, AOL, Orange and IPC Media. In 2008, when she finally grew tired of writing about Cheryl Cole’s shoes (and therefore tired of life), she became the main blogger on the American election-watching blog England For Obama. Her personal blog about performing in Malaysia - Lost In Transposition – was described by American website Jazz.com as “one of the best blogs out there”, and not just because it had a picture of her bottom at the top.
You can usually find her over on Twitter – where she writes in 140 characters or fewer, and doesn’t talk about herself in the third person.
