This month we welcome the multitalented, hyper-prolific Alice Lowe, a writer, director and actress known for her work in British comedy.

A Cambridge graduate, her career began with the development of experimental theatre productions with Paul King, David Mitchell and Robert Webb. She starred in Garth Marenghi’s Fright Knight and then Garth Marenghi’s Netherhead, Edinburgh Fringe precursors to the television series which were directed by King and starred fellow Cambridge graduates Richard Ayoade and Matt Holness. They won a Perrier Award for the latter series, having been nominated for the first.

She moved into television with an adaptation of this Fringe show in 2004, Garth Merenghi’s Darkplace, As well as key roles in comedy series like My Life in Film, Snuff Box, Rob Brydon’s Annually Retentive, and the CBBC version of Horrible Histories, Lowe was part of the all female comedy show Beehive, and has had guest spots on The IT Crowd, The Mighty Boosh, Black Books, Sherlock and others.

Alice also wrote a BBC Three pilot LifeSpam: My Child Is French in 2009, and she co-wrote and starred in a C4 show Arcadia. She has also written and directed a number of short films, including Jacqueline Wright’s Stiffy and her own Sticks and Balls which played Cannes in 2005 and 2007 respectively. In 2010, along with director Edgar Wright, she set up Jackal Films, and they produced shorts together for each month of that year.

She also had three series of her surreal radio sketch show on BBC Radio 4, Alice’s Wunderland, which she wrote and starred in.

More recently, Alice has appeared in a number of films from some of British independent film’s most prominent figures. She was in Edgar Wright’s Hot Fuzz and The World’s End, and Paul King’s Paddington, and she co-wrote and co-starred in Ben Wheatley’s Sightseers with Steve Oram.(She can also be seen acting (well, grunting) in Oram’s recent debut feature Aaaaaaaah!) in She was also in Jamie Adam’s improvised feature Black Mountain Poets, which played recently at LOCO Film Festival and can be seen on BFI Player now, Rachel Tunnard’s debut feature Adult Life Skills which recently premiered at Tribeca, and continues to work on independent shorts, some of which have been in Film of the Month before.

Alice is currently working on her feature directorial debut, titled Prevenge, a “pregnancy revenge movie”.
