About
Laura Solon exploded into public consciousness at the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe with her sensational debut show. She played to sell out crowds and received glowing reviews for her writing and performance, and became only the second woman ever to win the Perrier Award. She is now undeniably one of the rising stars of the comedy world.
A subtle, brilliant writer and extremely versatile actress, Laura is able to turn her hand to a diverse range of hilarious characters and voices. Her comedy is dark and distinctive, crammed with acute observations and killer one-liners.
Laura has recently written and starred in her own TV show Laura, Ben and Him (ITV2) and two series of her radio show Talking and Not Talking, as well as appearing in Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul Series 1 and 2 (BBC One), and Al Murray's Multiple Personality Disorder (ITV1).
“Laura Solon is a serious talent…Solon’s series of comic monologues proves her to be an amazingly versatile performer and a hugely promising writer…this is an astonishingly assured debut.”
Dominic Maxwell, The Times
“With some of the best lines in a Fringe show Solon has earnt her recognition by the Perrier panel”
Julian Hall, The Independent
“Solon executes each character with laser-guided precision and a lightness of touch. There are inevitable flashes of Victoria Wood and Catherine Tate, but there is gobsmacking originality, too.”
Bruce Dessau, The Evening Standard
