Comedian - Freya McGhee - Comedy: The Chemist with a Chemical Bond to the Audience

Freya McGhee is a comedian who proves that a science degree is the perfect formula for great comedy. After moving to Brighton to study Chemistry, she discovered her true passion wasn't in the lab but in the limelight of the live comedy scene. Now a regular at top London clubs, Freya fuses her scientific background with a relatable, self-deprecating style that creates a "chemical bond" with every audience she meets.

Background and Comedy Style

Her comedic style is a potent mixture of self-deprecation and a fierce determination to seek revenge on her ex-boyfriends. This relatable content is often infused with clever scientific references, turning her seemingly "wasted" degree into a rich source of material. Her ability to blend intellectual humour with everyday observations makes her act both smart and accessible.

Her rising star status has also led to high-profile support slots, including opening for the powerhouse comedian Helen Bauer on her UK tour. With a unique style and a growing list of accolades,
