“Hi there! I’m Lee, and I’ve worked and trained within the entertainment industry for a number of years – onstage, backstage, and wherever else you can think! Having trained in performance, improvisation, comedy writing and technical theatre skills at LJMU, I began working professionally across the UK in 2014, from Truro to Edinburgh, and beyond.
Post-2017, whilst dealing with the combined weight of an international lock-down and a Bipolar diagnosis, I began retraining and expanding my writing and digital skills, and now provide freelance writing, editing and language services to a number of companies around the world.

![Happy October everyone! Every year I like to pick a ‘theme’ for my Jack O’Lanterns and this year, there’s an extra layer!
YOU have to figure out the theme.
I’ll be carving a bunch of (seemingly unrelated) celebrities and you are tasked with figuring out the connection. There’ll also be some bonus carvings and hints along the way.
First up: [1/5] Victoria Coren Mitchell!
Updates will be as and when I can be bothered.
