Bridget identifies as a queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill performer that comes from a multidisciplinary background of stand-up, acting, and improv (She also used to sing for a bit but "accidentally chain smoked too much in her early 20's"). She has been seen in Pilot Health's social media campaign, has been interviewed for Good Food Guide and has written for Refinery29.
The Age
"Hassed weaves both a mirthful and viciously cutting web similar to those conjured by Anne Edmonds or Celia Pacquola".
Hugging Comedians
"Bridget's raw authenticity and occasional vulnerability felt akin to the brilliant comedy stylings of Nina Oyama".
The Age
"It's not hard to envision her name up in lights and in far bigger rooms in years to come".
