With her sharp observational style, quick wit and warm, self-effacing delivery, she has built a reputation as a standout performer both on stage and on screen, as a solo performer and as a regular on panel shows and podcasts.
An award-winner early in her standup career, Maisie has become a familiar presence on television. She has appeared on shows including Live at the Apollo, A League of Their Own, Mock the Week, and Have I Got News for You, and she was the champion of series 20 of Taskmaster.

An engaging live performer, the Evening Standard described Maisie as “a complete comedy natural, currently at the top of her game”. Her debut solo standup special Appraisal was broadcast on Sky, showcasing her mix of storytelling, observation and energetic on-stage presence.
