Samantha is the sassy, stand-up mum of six Millennials/Gen Zers. Her comedy career kicked off about six years ago, after three decades as an accountant and single mum. Now she's been freed from the city, she's really hit her stride, as a truly original act who's progressing fast on the circuit.
Last year, Samantha's sold-out Edinburgh Fringe show, "The Booby Trap" (which, as the title suggests, is all about boobs) was nominated for the prestigious Amused Moose Award. And the year before that, she won New Comedian of the Year at the Southport Comedy Festival.
"When I told my kids that I'd got into the final they said they were "shook", that their minds were "literally blown" and that they were "done with me flipping their pancakes". I'm pleased that I've made them so proud."
According to her kids: "If her current material is some kind of attempt not to embarrass herself and us, then she's totally whiffed it. It's a dumpster fire."
