Olivia Lee

Olivia Lee is an award winning performer, comedian and writer, with a long track record of creating and writing her own TV shows. She has many scripted projects in development with UK & US production companies and broadcasters.

Her feature script Pardon The Interruption has recently won multiple awards. ‘Best Feature Script’ at ‘The Rome Prisma Film Awards’, ‘Best Comedy Screenplay’ at ‘The Prague Screenplay Awards’ and ‘Best Comedy Screenplay’ at the ‘Berlin International Screenwriting Festival’. It has also been officially selected for ‘New York Script Awards’, ‘International World Film Awards’ and the ‘Budapest Movie Awards’ and got honourable mention at ‘The Los Angeles Film & Script Festival’. Her TV drama Break is currently under option with Chx and has in developing a drama idea, Hysterical, with Ranga Bee.

A well known face of TV comedy, Olivia started her carer on Channel 4’s hit comedy show Balls of Steel with her own slot called Prank TV with Miss Lee. Then she created her own vehicle for Channel 4, Olivia Lee’s Naughty Bits. This led to her own series on Comedy Central; Olivia Lee: Dirty, Sexy, Funny. The USA came calling and Olivia was invited to regularly appear on NBC’s ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ where she wrote and starred in her own regular comedy slot. That led to truTV giving Olivia her own comedy pilot The Olivia Lee Show – which Ben Stiller produced with his company Red Hour.

Recently she created and starred in her own pilot Make Me A Misogynist for which she played a man for Channel 4. She also launched her first album with Universal records; Mindful Mum; How Not To Lose Your Total Fuc*ing Sh*t a unique spin on mindfulness, this was a hit so Olivia turned it into a one woman show Olivia Lee; Losing Her Total Fuc*ing Sh*t playing homage to female anger and toxic femininity. A tour of this is now the works.
