Emma Sidi's journey from a girl terrified of being mocked to a celebrated comedian showcases the evolution of female comics and highlights the changing landscape of comedy.
Reflecting on her early years, Sidi notes, 'There were vanishingly few comic female role models around in the early 2000s,' indicating the challenging environment for aspiring female comedians.
In her new show, Sidi embodies Sue Gray in a way that diverges drastically from reality, making her character 'gobby and emotionally chaotic,' signaling a fresh and humorous approach to political satire.
Sidi's decision to impersonate Gray was serendipitous, emerging from a mix of curiosity and the cultural moment that made Gray a household name following the Partygate investigation.
