Lorna Rose Treen - Comedian

Lorna Rose Treen’s solo show, Skin Pigeon, was a run away success at 2023’s Fringe festival. The show sold out its Pleasance venue, before gaining an additional slot later in the day. This led to the show being transferred to the Soho Theatre, winning the joke of the Fringe, and Dara O’Brian describing one moment in the show as ‘the funniest moment in comedy’. Since that Fringe success, Lorna has been working on a Radio 4 Commission – Time of the Week – a parody of Women’s news and current affairs shows and will be bringing Skin Pigeon back to Edinburgh at this year’s festival. We discuss Lorna's process for creating characters and how she knows which ones are ready to be included in a show. We also talk about her winning Joke of The Fringe, and the press (both good and bad) that this lead to.
