Clare performs an original cocktail of stand-up and comedy songs to mainly LGBTQ audiences up and down the country and also abroad and has even been known to make straight people chuckle just a little bit! She brings Dyke humour to the forefront of alternative comedy! For several years she has appeared on the LGBTQ comedy and cabaret circuit. She was once one half of the lesbian-themed double act ALICE AND CLARE (with Alice Arnold) and she has performed her one-woman shows at The Edinburgh Festival over many years.
