Molly Merwin

Actor | Writer | Producer

I'm an actor working across comedy and drama, from BBC drama to London Fringe theatre. As a writer, I create comedy that explores serious themes through unconventional theatrical forms. Currently, I am developing a one-woman satirical show exploring sibling dynamics, recognition, and what it means to be good or bad. 

 

For over a decade, I have been professionally performing for London Fringe audiences, specialising in comedy and improv. Some of my work has included the sold-out mental health dramedy Happy Yet? at the Courtyard Theatre (which later transferred to Frankfurt's International Theatre), my MA dissertation project Notorious RBG, a hip-hop and rhyme-infused three-hander about Ruth Bader Ginsburg that I wrote and performed in, and my turn as Emily, an American lifestyle journalist seeking asylum in a near future in Status at the Drayton Arms Theatre.

In 2019, I received an MA in Acting with Distinction from ALRA. In 2023, I was selected to participate in the Cabaret and Drag Lab at Soho Theatre in London. I have trained in improvised theatre at venues across London as well as US-based Second City and iO, and have taught improv comedy to adults and young people. In addition to performing and writing, I have worked as a producer for award-winning fringe theatre, comedy nights, and international improv festivals.

 

From late 2021 until 2023, I took some time off to learn how to be a parent (still figuring it out if I'm honest) after welcoming my daughter to the world.
