When Maisie was in Year 9, she googled herself on the school computer. The top result was a news story and Maisie discovered she was part of something much bigger, known to everyone but her.

At that tender age she began to ask why are we so quick to point the finger of blame, without knowing all the facts?

So is Maisie a ‘snowflake’ millennial shy of any responsibility, or is she holding a mirror up to our blame-hungry society? Before you decide, she asks you to Hang Fire!

Maisie first tried stand-up comedy in 2016, in her native North Yorkshire. Months later, she applied for the UK's largest stand-up competition: So You Think You're Funny? She won, becoming only the fourth woman to do so in 30 years.

Lots of TV appearances followed on shows such as 8 out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week and this is her first UK and European tour.

Maisie appears on a double bill with Rachel Fairburn. Some call her obnoxious, rude and contrary but she prefers to be known as the People’s Princess.

The show is at The Leadmill, Sheffield on February 3. Box office: www.leadmill.co.uk
