Fiona Allen
Twice Emmy winning actor and comedian Fiona Allen has been a mainstay of our TV screens over the past two decades. She has starred in various sketch shows, most famously the iconic “Smack the Pony“. Fiona has also appeared in television dramas such as “Dalziel and Pascoe“, “Shameless“, “Coronation Street” and “Happiness” alongside Paul Whitehouse. On film, Fiona played Sandra in the film version of the famous Viz comic strip “Fat Slags“, and Smirgut the Fierce in “Gladiatress“. Most recently she has been in that little-known soap “Eastenders“…
Fiona won a whole new generation of fans in the second series of the hit E4 teenage drama “Skins“, playing Maxxie’s mum, Jackie Oliver (her on-screen hubby was Bill Bailey). She has also played the role of Georgia Stevenson in the BBC drama “Waterloo Road“, while often appearing as herself on comedy shows like “Mock the Week” and “8 Out Of 10 Cats“.
Fiona is working towards a stand-up tour show and appearing in comedy clubs around the UK.
