Natalie
Haynes
Natalie is a woman who talks about genocide, meningitis, plastic surgery,
spiders, virgins and 'soggy biscuit'. Nothing's sacred and if it is,
she's probably shagged it. She has performed at the Edinburgh Fringe
and was a finalist in So You Think You're Funny in 1995 and the Hackney
Empire New Acts Awards in 1997 and has performed at most of the nation's
top venues.
