Her debut show, Absolutely No Worries If Not, won the Best New Show award at the Leicester Comedy Festival in 2022, and its 2022 Edinburgh Fringe run earned positive reviews in The Guardian, The Times, and Time Out. She has also opened for Ed Gamble and Marc Maron. Her 2023 Fringe show, I Can't Believe You've Done This, was nominated for Best Show, and she followed it in 2024 with Forgive Me, Father, which is set to tour in 2025.

In July 2025, it was announced that she would compete in series 20 of Taskmaster alongside Maisie Adam, Phil Ellis, Reece Shearsmith, and Sanjeev Bhaskar. She tied for first place with Adam and Ellis, but lost the tiebreaker, finishing second. She is pansexual, has black hair and blue eyes, and describes her body type as average.
