Holly Walsh started in stand-up in 2006 when she made the final of So You Think You’re Funny; and two years later she was named best newcomer at the Chortle Awards. She has appeared on several TV and radio panel shows – and as a presenter on CBBC – and in 2012 co-wrote the BBC Three show Dead Boss with Sharon Horgan. In 2010, she injured herself during the annual Worthing International Birdman festival, an experience which formed the basis for her Fringe debut, Hollycopter, for which she was nominated for best newcomer at the 2011 Edinburgh Comedy Awards.
