The college traces her early comedy work to a student sketch show co-written with her brother Jeremy. In 1984 she toured with the Oxford Theatre Group and became the first female president of the Oxford Revue. St Hugh’s elected her an Honorary Fellow in 2020. St Hugh’s College profile

Her career spans satirical sketch comedy, television drama, film, radio and writing. Early television work included The Day Today and Knowing Me, Knowing You with Alan Partridge; she later played Nicola Murray in The Thick of It.
