Biography
Maureen Younger is a stand-up comic, compere, actor, ad hoc radio talking head and writer for magazines such as the new online magazine for switched-on women Standard Issue, Her Edit, as well as Psychologies Magazine‘s new blogging platform, Life Labs.
A tri-lingual London Scot, she’s frank, fast, feisty, sharp, engaging - honest humour with attitude!
In her own words:
“As a comic, I also gig in German because clearly I enjoy a challenge! I’ve previously lived in the then Soviet Union (yes, I’m that old), Austria, Germany, France and Spain. So as you can tell I believe in having a focused life plan. As a result, I’m also one of those rare creatures – a Brit who speaks languages! After having worked and lived abroad for several years, I started doing stand up and I run several comedy nights featuring all-female line-ups in London and Birmingham. In addition, I organise shows for the Shout Festival, Coventry Pride and the Bradford Literary Festival.”
