Ali’s first taste of improvising was in their second year of university in Sussex where they took part in a course with the UK’s longest-running all-female improv troupe – The Short & Girlies. Shortly after they were invited to audition and the rest is well, history! With tours in Brighton, Camden Fringe, and Manchester Women in Comedy Festival in the bag, they also performed festivals across the UK and at London, Brighton and Bristol Prides. 

More recently Ali has been a founding member of More to Honk With – a queer improv collective of some of Sussex’s finest performers. They are also part of LadyBird, an improv troupe based out of Blanche in London. Ali’s teaching has been focused on the queer community in Brighton and creating spaces that are neuroaffirmative.

Ali is also a Diversity and Inclusion consultant who supports companies in their pursuit of bringing the best out in their people. It’ll be no surprise that their background in improv has helped enormously with this practice.
