I am a Manchester actor, theatre maker and photographer who grew up near Southampton but chose to live in the North West after graduating from Manchester School of Theatre in July 2015.
I am taking a year off to go travelling so will be unavailable from Christmas 2019 until Christmas 2020. ***UPDATE: I am back in the UK for the foreseeable future!***

Review Mentions:
“It is very funny, surprisingly informative and features a pair of sparkling performances” – British Theatre Guide (Men Chase Women Choose, 2019)
“A very funny, very clever show, executed by two very talented and versatile performers” – Number 9 (Men Chase Women Choose, 2019)
“Her character is an intelligent “STEMINIST“, but also has an abundance of dry wit and humour. The pair compliment each other perfectly, and display a fantastic rapport, forging an irrepressible partnership that is a complete joy to watch. It is clear that they are having a blast, and this energy feeds through to the audience. With superb comic timing, they both demonstrate exceptional versatility as actors, delivering comedy through rap, poetry, physical performance, and sketches.” – The Plays The Thing (Men Chase Women Choose, 2019)
“The supporting cast is equally strong, particularly…Sophie Giddens’ Peter, who provide(s) most of the comedy” – Frankly, My Dear UK (Romeo and Juliet 2018)
“John Tueart and Sophie Giddens provide two of the most powerful and gripping performances that I have seen. The emotion and passion with which they deliver their characters are nothing short of sensational” – Number 9 (The Egoist 2018)
