Acting
"Like the great Joyce Grenfell she is able to summon up characters with the minim of fuss"
The Times

From Helen’s early days at the famous Comedy Store, to creating the Girl at the Bar in BBC 2’s Naked Video not to mention becoming Catriona the dizzy journalist in BBC 1’s Absolutely Fabulous – Helen has starred in most top TV and radio shows.

She has also followed on the heels of the great Julie Walters by playing Rita in Educating Rita and spending 6 months treading the boards at the Comedy Theatre, West End in Alan Bleasdale’s Having a Ball.

More recently Helen has starred in The Vagina Monologues in the West End, John Mortimer’s Full House and Eugene Ionesco’s The Hairless Diva (Palace Theatre, Watford).
