Biografie
Helen Lederer is probably best known for her role as the dippy Catriona in Absolutely Fabulous in which she appeared alongside Jennifer Saunders in all six series, as well as creating the "Girl at the Bar" in Naked Video. However, to many she is known for her unique wit and observational humour. A comedy writer with an extensive portfolio that includes writing and performing her own material, Helen has starred in a great number of top TV comedy and radio shows.
Lederer was part of a group of early 1980's comedians, including Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, the late Rik Mayall and Ben Elton who made their names at London's Comedy Store. She was a guest on ITV's Saturday Night Live with her solo comedy act as well as performing at the first 'Just for Laughs' comedy festival in Montreal with Lenny Henry.
TV appearances span such shows as "The Young Ones", "French and Saunders", "Happy Families", "One Foot in the Grave", "Bottom", "Love Soup", "Miss Marple" and "Hollyoaks". Children's TV include the much loved children's favourite "Miss Bowline-Hitch" along with Bernard Cribbins for CBeebies' "Old Jacks Boat" as well as the film of HORRID HENRY.
On BBC radio she has written and performed her own comedy series Life with Lederer and All Change as well as being a panelist on shows such as "The News Quiz", "Just a Minute", "Quote...Unquote", "A Good Read", "Open Book" and "Woman's Hour". Her columns include Woman&Home, The Independent, The Mail on Sunday and The Daily Telegraph and more recently the 'agony aunt' for Woman's Weekly.
Her theatre work includes following hot on the heels of Julie Walters in "Educating Rita", and playing Doreen in Alan Bleasdale's "Having a Ball", "The Vagina Monologues", "Calendar Girls", "The Killing of Sister George", in London's West End, interspersed with many fringe plays.
