Not name dropping or anything but the other day I was hanging out with my Mum. I know. Now I’m not saying my Mum is like a celebrity or anything, she’s no Jack Whitehall’s Dad or Ramesh Ranganathan’s Mum but she is the mum of Zahra Barri so I think that counts for something. So,...
PROBLOGUE: If you read the title of this blog, quickly and at a glance you will think this blog is about Aids. But if you pause, take it in, and don’t jump to conclusions you will see that this blog is saying hello to positivity. It’s symbolic; something might seem bad at first, but...
Friend: OK so there’s been something I’ve been meaning to tell you for a while now but I’ve been too scared to tell you because I didn’t know how you would react and I thought it might make things weird between us… Me: You know you can tell me anything, I mean we’re best...
I feel a lot of connection and empathy for the transgender community because I have also always thought that I am in the wrong body. Like a lot of transsexuals, I feel like my body doesn’t match who I truly am inside. In the fact that, I feel like I’m one of those ‘old souls’....

Being a comic who has failed her driving test 13 times, I am on public transport literally every day. (Wow. I literally just used the word literally, correctly. Go me.) Public Transport is such a part of my everyday life, so much so that trains, planes and automobile apps cover the picture of my boyfriend’s...
I made friends with a girl who told me she ‘doesn’t normally get on with girls’ which made me immediately want to unfriend her. Maybe the reason she has no girlfriends is because she goes around saying shit like that? Apparently ‘girls don’t like me’ she cooed. She had a little glint in her eye...
The E.U referendum proved that most people applied the same theory to voting that they do to farts. We are better out. A whopping 52 per cent of us believe that we are better off without the E.U. That means, and I’m no mathematician, that over half of us (50 % plus 2 people, Farage...
I quit the gym this week. If you ever want to feel loved, needed, wanted, yearned and that someone can’t physically survive without you, then I thoroughly recommend you quit the gym.
