Jess Robinson - In Conversation

Beyond The Title

One of the most exciting performers within British entertainment, writer, actor, comedian and podcaster Jess Robinson wasn’t always destined for a career in comedy and instead cut her teeth within the world of musical theatre. As a child, her mum recalls making costumes for her to perform her own performances in their living room. Attending the Tring Park School for the Performing Arts, her passion lay in music, with cultivating a strong and versatile singing voice. On graduation, Jess secured the lead role in the theatrical interpretation of Little Voice at the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon. This was the first time that Jess had considered playing around with voices in an attempt to mimic a particular character. Jane Horrocks’ voice in the 1998 film is so distinctive that it almost encourages impersonating and therefore Jess’s first impression was born.
