Morgana Robinson

 

Morgana’s latest project sees her starring alongside Terry Mynott in brand new celebrity impression show Very Important People, which starts on Channel 4 on 27th April at 9.30pm. Morgana’s impressions include 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 and Jennifer Anniston.

 

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 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 hundreds of tributes to him on YouTube.

 

Head of Comedy at Channel 4 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’stelevision 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 him 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.
