Jill in the media
Jill was the BBC's chosen Comedy Coach in the South for their Comic Relief project in 2011. She mentored Brighton's BBC Radio Sussex presenter Neil Pringle and appeared in BBC One's documentary "Stand-Up for Comic Relief."
BBC South East’s documentary "Comedy In Brighton" featured Jill coaching presenter Kaddy Lee-Preston to write and perform her own stand-up set. Kaddy performed at Comic Boom to plenty of laughs – not just from Jill.
Jill’s workshops featured in Radio 4 programmes “Please Tell Me Why It’s Funny” and “Comic Belief,” which was a 40 minute special following two students through her course; transmitted as part of their “Soundtrack” series.
Lionel Blair taught Jill the Sammy Davis Junior microphone technique when she talked to him about her stand-up comedy courses at London's "Comedy Store" for "Good Morning with Anne and Nick" as part of their "Go for It!" strand.
Jill’s work has been widely featured in the press. Click on text to view article:
