Zoë’s ability to blend sharp and silly has made her a sought-after writer for both individual comics and comedy series. She was the script-editor/producer of Hypothetical (Dave), and her recent writing credits include 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown (C4), Standup To Cancer (C4), The Now Show (Radio 4), The News Quiz (Radio 4) and new sketch show You’re Part of the Problem (Radio 4).
She also co-wrote and produced the Channel 4 Comedy Blap Late Night Forever With Jordan Brookes ("bold and ambitious... imagine a chat show directed by David Lynch" ★★★★ - Chortle).
Alongside Charlie Dinkin, Zoë is the co-creator of cult comedy-horror podcast SeanceCast, which showcases new women and non-binary writers. The show won a British Podcast Award, and was nominated for both the Chortle Awards and BBC Audio Awards.
