If you're quite old you may remember Pippa as superbitch Elaine Fenwick in
CORONATION STREET or Shaz the Aussie waitress, in cult kids series,
HANGAR 17 or her debut role in BBC film
Z FOR ZACHARIAH.
Other highlights from dozens of BBC films, TV, theatre and radio credits include Michael Palin’s iconic

AND A NIGHTINGALE SANG and
THE DRESSMAKER & Jack Rosenthal's

Pippa has been working in the US for some years where she had roles in
TOUCH on Fox and in Alex Kurtzman's feature debut
WELCOME TO PEOPLE. She created all-female sketch show
LIVE!SEX!GIRLS! at LA Comedy Fest and as a web series and performed stand-up at The Comedy Store main stage and Belly Room & The Improv in LA. She once played Fergie in NBC’s imaginatively titled
FERGIE & ANDREW - which was funny but not meant to be. After first writing sketches for TV shows like
SMACK THE PONY, Pippa did a screenwriting MA at LCC and has since had several award winning short films produced, film and TV commissions and options on her work in the UK and US. She wrote for two series of the groundbreaking plot-interactive teen drama,
SOPHIA'S DIARY (Sony/Bebo and Channel 5) and her latest short,
KILLING CHRISTMAS, has won awards for Best International Short at tweetfest, Best Performances at WildSound, Best Holiday Short at LSIFF and been selected for 20 international festivals. Her dark TV comedy
MENTAL was just shortlisted for Sister Prods/Olivia Colman's writer-performer contest and a monolugue from it just published as part of a book for mental health charity MIND. 5' teaser
