Mandy attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art and is a fully-trained classical actress.

Mandy is the former Time Out Comedy Award winner and has headlined all over the world including Dubai, Hong Kong, China, Thailand, South Africa and Rickmansworth and was the first female comedian to compere that bastion of old-school stand-up The Comedy Store.
