    Ellie White Writer/ Performer

    Ellie White Writer/ Performer Ellie White is one of the UK’s most exciting young character comedians and comedy actors. She played the lead role of Cathy, alongside co-leads Siobhan Finneran, Lauren Socha and Rebecca Front, in Holly Walsh’s BBC New On Two pilot THE OTHER ONE, which led to a series commission. She recently reprised her role of Princess Beatrice in the upcoming THE WINDSORS WEDDING SPECIAL for Channel 4, which aired in 2018, and she plays the regular role of Katia in Jamie Demetriou’s 6 x 30’ series STATH LETS FLATS for Channel 4 which will aired last summer. She also had a role in BBC One’s six part series THIS TIME WITH ALAN PARTRIDGE. Last year, Ellie co-wrote and co-starred in a Sky Comedy Short with Vicki Pepperdine called ELLIE WHITE AND VICKI PEPPERDINE'S SUMMER. She also had a key guest role alongside Steve Pemberton and Reese Shearsmith in Series 3 of INSIDE NO. 9: THE BILL which recently won a BAFTA for Best Writing. She played various characters (including Cara Delevingne) in Series 2 & 3 of MURDER IN SUCCESSVILLE, a lead role in BBC3's 2016 pilot LIMBO and regular roles in two series of CBBC's CLASS DISMISSED. From February to June of 2017, Ellie played the role of Marianne in Sean Foley's production of THE MISER alongside Griff Rhys Jones, Lee Mack and Matthew Horne at The Garrick Theatre in London's West End. She received some lovely write-ups: 'Ellie White brilliantly channels the plummy vowels of the (very) upper classes as Marianne.' - Whats on Stage 'Fringe favourite Ellie White is memorable, too, as the super-privileged Marianne, poshly-spoken to the point of incomprehension.' - Chortle 'Ellie White as Marianne is a surprise highlight of the evening, with her overly refined enunciation making her almost incomprehensible to the other characters.' - British TheatreS She had regular roles in ITV2’s GLITCHY, with Ryan Sampson, and @ELEVENISH and BBC2’s HOUSE OF FOOLS Series 2, in which she starred alongside creators Vic and Bob, Matt Berry and Morgana Robinson.

Yep. Red Nose Day comes over all fuzzy on 14 March 2003. From bad hair to hair with flair, Comic Relief will be encouraging everyone to change their hair and help raise money that will help poor and disadvantaged people in the UK and Africa thrive, not just survive. From beehives to bobs, mullets to quaffs and bubble perms to bouffants, big hair is going to get a lot bigger. 2. TV AND RADIO On Friday 14 March 2003 Comic Relief takes over BBC ONE for an entire night of serious fun led by the biggest names in comedy. From 7pm some of the UK’s biggest names including Jonathan Ross, Graham Norton, Vic and Bob, Adam and Joe and Lenny Henry present an evening of irresistible entertainment. The UK’s best TV writers have penned hilarious sketches for this unique night, including specials from EastEnders, French and Saunders and The Kumars. To ice the comedy cake there will be performances from the cream of the music world. During the night viewers will also see how their money has helped Comic Relief make a real difference to vulnerable people in the UK and Africa.
