Biography:
Since her debut Edinburgh show in 2003, Kerry Gilbert has become a well-known face on the comedy circuit. With her then writing partner, Kelly McGolpin, she became the youngest performer at the infamous character comedy night Ealing Live, working with Mighty Boosh director Paul King and acclaimed stand-up John Gordillo. In 2005, Kerry performed at the Pleasance, Edinburgh with Steve Oram and Alex Kirk in the sell-out comedy Denim.
Alongside numerous character appearances in critically acclaimed television comedy series, Kerry has performed regularly on the live comedy circuit as a solo act over the past three years and is part of The Sketchy Collective - a group of up-and-coming sketch and character comedians whose monthly comedy night was recommended in The Independent as one of London's best comedy sketch nights.
Kerry returned from last year's Edinburgh Fringe with rave reviews for her debut solo show Kerry Gilbert Gives Love a Bad Name. She started the year as a semi-regular on Dick and Dom's Funny Business and is currently working of various television and radio projects including a sitcom for Radio 4. Kerry has also collaborated with Tate Britian on their 'Shoot London: Bank to Bank' event. Kerry is the named writer and has devised fragments of a story in order to provide a narrative backbone for the event. Previous writers include acclaimed author Joe Dunthorne.
