Last August, Eleanor had another successful run (along with her fellow Lady Garden-ers) at the Edinburgh Fringe in the Pleasance Courtyard: http://www.edfringe.com/whats-on/comedy/lady-garden

The opening is one of the best I've seen and there's a running joke in which everyday events are imbued with tragic significance, which is brilliantly done. THE INDEPENDENT

The 2010 show LADY GARDEN: TOP SECRET GIG (directed by the award-winning Phillip Breen) played at the Pleasance, Edinburgh to sell out audiences.

Eleanor studied Drama and Film at The University of Manchester and whilst there, created JUST FOR A LAUGH comedy night in 2007 which transferred to the Manchester Comedy Store the following year.
