A fluent French and German speaker, Maureen has lived across Europe—including the Soviet era Russia and Ukraine, Spain and Austria—before returning to her native North London to pursue her comedy career.
Maureen is a frequent contributor to BBC Radio London, BBC Radio 5 Live, and has appeared as a newspaper reviewer for Sky News. She is a co-host of the popular podcast WTB (Women Talking Bollocks) alongside fellow comedians Jen Brister and Allyson June Smith.
