Maureen Younger

Hi, I'm a British Actor / Stand Up Comedian / Writer who trained at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and ALRA in London. Having previously lived in Russia, Ukraine, Austria, Spain, France and Germany, I'm now back in my home town of London. I've worked as a stand up comedian for over 15 years, gigging throughout the UK and internationally. I’m one of the few comics in the UK to gig regularly at mainstream, urban, Asian and gay comedy nights. I’ve also gigged in German and French.

Acting work includes performing at the National Theatre Studio in London and at the English Theatre Berlin. I also starred in the short film, Pastry. This was the director's take on my performance:

'Her work ethics are first class, and she is a wonderful nuanced actor. Most of her subtleties on that film came from her. She is intuitive and a good listener. Maureen made my job incredibly easy’. Eduardo Barreto

Having lived abroad, I speak several languages. I speak fluent German with an Austrian accent so much so I’m often mistaken for an Austrian when in Austria or Germany. I also speak fluent French as well as Spanish and (in theory) Russian. I'm happy to assist in those languages as well.

I am an excellent sight reader and will do my utmost to assist anyone I read for. I enjoy analysing text as well as the intellectual challenge of working and playing around with the text.

I'm easy going, intelligent, insightful and modest(!) I would aim to offer helpful advice and willing to do my best to get the most out of any texts.

If you want to book in, you can contact me via social media or email me at maureenanneyounger@tiscali.co.uk. I'd be more than happy to work round your availability.
