Lola-Rose is probably most well known for her sketches with Stevie Martin which have amassed over 45 million views on social media. The pair were headhunted and now direct commercials for Chief productions. Lola-Rose also directed her own short Attack of the Coat in Jan ‘25. She’s written sketches for Radio 4, two episodes of Channel 4’s Rude Tube and short film Office Manager but now mostly writes horror feature films, mostly.
Unconventionally for a Brit, Lola-Rose started her career doing long-form improv and has grown to be one of the most sought after improvisers in the UK. She’s performed in sell out shows across London’s West End and LA. Most notably her own show The Improvised Play which started at The Royal Court and grew into a 5 night run at The Arcola achieving Lyn Gardener’s pick of the week.
