Left formal education at the tender age of 16, marking the beginning of a journey that would lead her down a path of unconventional pursuits. Prior to that, she had already carved out a reputation as a "mohair vegie-brain", a tongue-in-cheek moniker that hinted at her free-spirited nature.
Subsequently, she found herself immersed in the vibrant inner-city art scene, rubbing shoulders with the avant-garde collective known as "The Salami Sisters", a group of irreverent cabaret performers who shared her passion for pushing boundaries and defying conventions.
Following this stint, she segued into the world of satire, taking on roles as a TV commentator, newspaper columnist, and playwright. Her unique brand of humor and wit quickly made her a household name, and she soon found herself in high demand.
In a bold move, she relocated to Los Angeles for a year, where she honed her skills writing comedy scripts for the small screen. This experience proved to be a valuable stepping stone, and she eventually settled down in London with her husband, lawyer Geoffrey Robertson, and their children.
