 Morgana Robinson Morgana Robinson is an award winning comedy actress, having been awarded Cosmopolitan magazine’s Ultimate Funny Woman at their 2014 Ultimate Women Awards and Best Breakthrough Artist at the 2012 British Comedy Awards. Later this year Morgana will star in The Agency, her own impressions show for BBC2. It will feature new impersonations of Joanna Lumley, Mel & Sue, Greg Wallace and Miranda Hart as well as established favourites Natalie Cassidy, Danny Dyer, Russell Brand and Fearne Cotton. Morgana also plays Pippa Middleton in Channel 4’s spoof Royal Family comedy soap opera The Windsors from the writers of Star Stories, starring alongside Harry Enfield, Haydn Gwynne, Hugh Skinner, Louise Ford and Katy Wix. Further recent credits include series 3 of Inside No 9 (BBC2), Walliams and Friend (BBC1), Drunk History (Comedy Central), Crackanory (UKTV), Toast of London (Channel 4) and Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe (BBC2). Morgana kicked off 2015 reprising her role as eccentric neighbour Julie in series two of Vic and Bob’s House of Fools, a BBC2 sitcom written by Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, also starring Dan Skinner, Matt Berry, Daniel Simonsen and Ellie White. The BBC described the project as “half an hour of unadulterated Reeves and Mortimer – anarchic japes, unimaginable props and impossible situations with a stella cast.” Morgana’s first appearance for Sky Arts was starring in the newest series of Psychobitches; an all-­‐star sketch show (Sharon Horgan, Rebecca Front, Sam Spiro, Frances Barber, Jack Whitehall, Kathy Burke, Sheridan Smith and Reece Shearsmith to name a few) that saw some of history’s most famous women pschoanalysed. Morgana played Anna Nicole Smith, Daphne Du Maurier and Mary Magdeline. Morgana enjoyed a succession of guest leads in 2014, including Catherine Tate’s publishing rival in David Walliams’ Big School (BBC1), an insufferable boss in Jessica Knappett’s Drifters (E4) and culminating in her second appearance in Matt Berry’s Channel 4 sitcom Toast of London. Morgana proved her incredible ability as a mimic alongside Terry Mynott in Very Important People, a celebrity impression show that mocked our beloved stars and satirised a culture bamboozled by trivia, gossip and regurgitated ideas. Morgana’s celebrity impressions included Adele, Russell Brand, Frankie Boyle, Fearne Cotton, Cheryl Cole, Danny Dyer, Natalie Cassidy, Amy Childs, Helena Bonham Carter, Sophie Dahl, Kerry Katona, Christine Bleakley, Hilary Devey, Martine McCutcheon, Jennifer Aniston and Jessie J. Very Important People was a 6 part series broadcast on Friday nights on Channel 4 in 2012. In late 2011 Morgana played the character of Carol Caplin alongside her comedy heroes Jennifer Saunders, Rik Mayall, Robbie Coltrane, Harry Enfield and Stephen Mangan in the one off feature The Comic Strip Presents...The Hunt for Tony Blair, broadcast on Channel 4. Morgana created a big noise in 2010 with her highly acclaimed debut series The Morgana Show which showcased her incredible ability to pick up acute physical nuances, mannerisms and catchphrases to create both original comedy characters and celebrity impressions. Morgana’s character Gilbert, the awkward teenage boy, was a particular audience favourite of the series, spawning numerous of tributes to him on YouTube. Head of Comedy at Channel 4 at the time, Shane Allen, said of Morgana; “she is a fresh performer with a huge amount of potential... Morgana’s range of charismatic characters are warm, daft and infectious and somehow lodge in your head. Her style of performance is reminiscent of Kenny Everett in his prime, but without the beard.” Gilbert was first seen in 2009 interviewing celebrities in Channel 4’s TNT show, hosted by Jack Whitehall and Holly Walsh. In 2008 Morgana played a crazed dental nurse and a glamorous yet repellent TV host's assistant in Ross Lee's Ghoulies, broadcast on Nickelodeon on Saturday mornings. Morgana’s television debut came in 2007 where she played an Eastern European Internet bride on BBC 1's comedy The Green Green Grass. Morgana also had a cameo appearance in My Family. Morgana's journey to the screen has been a unique one. For years she worked part-­‐time in a Soho Japanese restaurant, where John Noel was a regular. She was untrained, apart from an art degree and seven years of school plays at Benenden School, and one day plucked up the courage to hand John a showreel at the front desk (which consisted of her flat mate holding a camcorder whilst she pranced about in various wigs/teeth/glasses.) John recognised (very) raw talent and asked her in for a meeting. He told her to "start throwing rice around." Her restaurant days were over.
