'How I became a stand-up comedian'
In her last term at University of York in 2015, Anna came down with glandular fever – the illness left her bed bound and meant she had to drop out of university until she recovered.
"It made me pause and think. The world was like, 'Stop what you’re doing, do you really want to go into HR?' – I’m still not sure if I really knew what jobs I was applying for."Looking back at her first gig, after finishing the comedy course, Anna, who grew up in Barry Port Wales, says her jokes needed work.
"So my mam’s been trying to get it to stop, so she’s been drawing all over the windows in highlighter because apparently that stops the reflection.When Anna got to university, she says she didn’t realise how different it was growing up in Barry Port, Wales. Speaking about some of the differences she found as a student, Anna says she was in the minority of students that were working multiple jobs. At weekends, she would work during the day at River Island and then work in bars at night.
