About Us
Helen Cunningham
Helen Cunningham grew up in Lancashire where she began as a singer, performing in Musical theatre. She worked with National Youth Music Theatre and Company Youth Music Theatre UK before studying at The Oxford School of Drama.
This led her to her love of acting which quickly transformed into a love for writing and creating too. She has written two plays, “The Queen’s Arms” and “Curating” both of which have been performed at The Drayton Arms with dark comedy as their core.
Over the last year, she has been an integral part of NewRevue, the longest running comedy show in the world. She has been part of the cast three times including the recent West End transfer. She has also been asked to direct twice — one of which was the highly coveted Christmas season and wrote material for the 2023 Edinburgh run, performed at Pleasance Courtyard - The Grand to record breaking audience numbers.
