What are your feelings as you enter into this year’s Edinburgh Fringe season?

I am going to be found out.

What is the premise of your Edinburgh show this year?

In January 2019, a B list French celebrity made the global headlines when he said that a woman once she turns 50 is unlovable and invisible. I turned 50 a few weeks later and mostly just wanted to know if by August anyone would be able to see me. So I decided to put on a show.

What is the biggest obstacle you face(d) while putting this show together?

Money, kids, time, self-belief, public transport – not always in that order.

Has your attitude towards the Fringe changed at all in recent years?

I used to work on the other side of the fence – as a person with alleged influence in the world of telly – so it’s gone from everyone wanting me at their shows/parties to more of a ‘Cally who?’ approach.

Do you have any other Edinburgh show recommendations?

Where to begin? Flo & Joan, Jenny Bede, Maisie Adam, Luisa Omielan, Sara Barron, Yuriko Kotani for starters.

Where would you like to be in a year’s time?

In my lover’s arms on a Thai beach. Only kidding. My lovers can’t afford to take me to Nando’s let alone a Thai beach, so I’ll go with doing this again, but with an even better show.
