About Fern Brady

Fern Brady, born in Bathgate, West Lothian, began her career with a Bachelor of Arts in Arabic and Islamic History from the University of Edinburgh. Initially setting her sights on journalism, she pursued training in the field and took on an internship with Fest Magazine, a free publication focused on covering the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. It was during this internship that she was assigned to write an article about a comedy critic trying stand-up for the first time. This experience proved transformative, as it ignited Brady’s passion for comedy and sparked her decision to pursue a career in stand-up.

Brady made her initial mark in the comedy scene in 2011, placing joint-third in the So You Think You’re Funny? competition at the Edinburgh Fringe. This success launched her into a series of high-profile appearances on topical television panel shows, including 8 Out of 10 Cats, Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, and The Russell Howard Hour, where her sharp humor resonated with audiences.

Her notable Fringe stand-up shows include People Are Idiots (2015), Male Comedienne (2016), and Suffer, Fools! (2017), the latter of which was filmed for Live from the BBC in 2019. Brady is widely recognized for her incisive wit and unapologetic humour, earning her guest spots on popular radio shows such as The Now Show and The News Quiz. Her brutally honest style and sharp observations have solidified her position in British comedy as a distinctive voice.
