For one whole year 2012-2013 Leanne set out on a personal quest to abolish her risk averse nature by moving house every six weeks to live with strangers she'd found on Twitter. She also signed up to every adventure offered including a stint with the Hare Krishna's, internet dating, clown camp and ending up at a group masturbation session (genuine mistake but being English, was too polite to leave). Leanne's journey was documented through the Huffington Post and culminated in a sell-out one woman show at The Edinburgh Festival 2013.
Companies also seem to like putting her face on things. Commercials in the last 2 years include Santander, McDonalds, A2 Milk, Wowcher, Cancer Research and Confused.com. Leanne is also a writer for The Telegraph and blogger for The Huffington Post and has even done some well intelligent writing for The Lancet.
She's done her fair share of stand up on the circuit both as characters Wendy and Lydia, as well as just herself, culminating in a one woman sell-out show at Edinburgh 2013 called Miss Adventure. She recently brought together some of the funniest women ever to have existed in the form of sketch group Dude Looks Like A Lady. They won rave reviews including Dave's Leicester Comedy Festival Best Debut Act and in 2016 had a run of sell out shows and four star reviews at Edinburgh Festival.
The big news today is that she has just had her first TV script optioned by Leopard Productions. Generally life is pretty aces.
