Writing

As a writer Alexis has been commissioned to write comedy pilots for Fresh One and Shed Productions, as well as online sketches for Hat Trick. She wrote and produced the short film, ‘Shoes’ co-starring Steve Furst which made official selection for multiple international film festivals including LSFF and Portobello and writes and films her own sketches, some of which have been featured on The Huffington Post, The British Comedy Guide and been shortlisted for a Funny Women Award.

Recently, however, she has turned her attentions to creating content on TikTok and since Jan 23 when she started her account, has had over 4 million views of her sketches and impressions. Her most popular character is the (fake) former PA to Meghan Markle.

In addition, Alexis is an emerging playwright and her works include ‘Volcano’ at Theatre Royal Stratford East (mentored by Rikki Beadle-Blair  MBE and John Gordon of Team Angelica), ‘Always The Bride’ at Wimbledon Studio Theatre (‘Funny and well observed’,  Wimbledon Guardian), and ‘Before And After’ at The Arcola. She was also long-listed for the ‘Old Vic 12’.

As a journalist, Alexis is a regular contributor for The Independent and has also written for Metro, and blogged about parenting issues for Raising Films, Selfish Mother and single parent charity, Gingerbread.

The Time I Almost…‘, a comedy memoir, marks Alexis’s non-fiction prose debut and she is currently seeking a publisher.
