Fresh off the back of the UK tour of her brand new one woman show ‘Babybrain’ BAFTA winner Kimberley Nixon will be sharing her story from local comprehensive school to stage and screen.
Over her long career she has done both comedic and dramatic roles in equal measure. From Josie in Channel 4’s Fresh Meat and Lush in BBC’s The Tuckers to Shardlake on Disney+, The Salisbury Poisonings, Mudtown for UKTV and Sky’s Under Salt Marsh. She has a podcast and blog talking openly about her struggles with OCD and motherhood called Kimfluencing My Brain and has recently had her first book ‘She Seems fine to Me’ published to wide acclaim.
Kimberley’s story is inspiring and brutally honest. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or wondering how to recapture your spark, come along and be encouraged!
Kimberley is an ambassador for the National Autistic Society and the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership. She is also the proud patron of Mothers Matter Cymru based in Tonypandy.
*Trigger warning - this session contains adult themes and conversation around infertility, baby loss and mental health.
