Poppy Fairweather

Working-class background; first in her family to attend university. Studied drama at Manchester Met, then spent three years doing stand-up comedy in pubs and clubs across the North before transitioning to writing. Her comedy background shows in her dialogue—quick, sharp, and deeply human. Works part-time as a barmaid while building her writing career. Lives in a chaotic flat-share in Salford; dates enthusiastically and catastrophically; mines her own disasters for material.
