Hello! Tell us about yourself? 

Ooh now this is a lovely question. I’m gorgeous. I’m beautiful. I’m the best in the world at everything ever. I’m a stand-up comedian and writer and I just love telling people all about my rotten neighbours, especially that cow in the semi-detached across the street, Posh Sue.

Tell us all about your show! 

Something terrible and outrageous has happened. I’ve been apprehended in Superdrug with a handbag full of lipsticks. They’re saying that I stole them. I’m saying that I’m innocent. But how did I get here? What’s the truth? Come see the show to hear the full story.

How did you come up with the name of your show that your taking to the fringe?

 It seemed appropriate to call my show JUSTICE FOR HOLLY when I have been the victim of such a terrible miscarriage of justice.

What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe? 

Everybody! Especially excited to see James Barr, Rhys Nicholson, Aaron Twitchen and Aunty Ginger.

Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe?

 This is my first fringe but I’m happy to give advice to anyone about anything. My top tips for fringe (despite never having been) are: eat healthy, stay hydrated, love yourself, get a therapist, don’t wipe your coffee spoon dry on your jeans.

What is the best way to enjoy yourself at the fringe? 

You mean aside from going to see JUSTICE FOR HOLLY? I suppose by eating lovely foods, drinking lovely drinks, watching lovely shows, writing 5 star reviews of those shows on the interweb for all your friends.

Best thing about performing at the fringe? 

Feeling famous, feeling gorge.

What would be your top three items every performer must take to the fringe? 

Party Rings, Fizzy Vimto and moisturiser

What’s the secret to successful flyering? 

Using Party Rings to bribe other people to do it for you.

If people want to find out more about you where can they follow you on social media? 

On the wonderful instagram of course: @hollywstars  

And Finally in three words – Why should people come and see the show? 

It’s very funny.
