Karen has trod the boards in everything from Glasgow Panto to West End Theatre, performed Burns & Shakespeare in New York (and done stand up and DJ-ed there too!) and last year DJed at TRNSMT and Ibiza.

In 2014 she opened the Commonwealth Games to a stadium audience of forty thousand and one billion TV viewers.

From Glesga pubs to the National Theatre, Karen has captivated audiences with her mix of comedy, music and acting talents.
