When she was born, she stopped breathing for about fifteen minutes. Because of that, she has ataxic cerebral palsy, a condition that affects her movement and speech.

Her first stand-up performance was at a friend's comedy night. She performed without any preparation.

On July 21st, 2022, she received an Honourary doctorate of The University of Huddersfield.

She once worked as a junior researcher for Objective Media Group as part of Channel 4's disability scheme. Following this, she was unemployed for a few years.
