Francesca Martinez, born 1978 in London, is an English stand-up comedian, writer, and actress. She’s got a Spanish dad and a half-Swedish, half-English mom, and has cerebral palsy (she calls herself “wobbly” instead).

She’s crushed it with sell-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival and around the world: Melbourne Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Perth Festival, and Just For Laughs in Montreal. In 2014 she did a massive 68-date UK and Ireland tour, and she’s had a bunch of off-West End runs in London at places like the Tricycle Theatre, Hackney Empire, and Soho Theatre.
