Jayde Adams

Jayde Adams is a writer, actress, singer, producer and a multiple award-winning comedian. As an actress Jayde is best known for starring in the ITV sitcom "Ruby Speaking" (2023) and playing 'Leanne' in the BAFTA-winning BBC comedy-drama series, "Alma's Not Normal" (2021-2024).

Jayde Adams received the Edinburgh Fringe Best Newcomer award in 2016 and the Funny Women Award for Best Female Comedy Performance in the same year. Recognized by Dawn French as the "3rd funniest woman in the world," her Amazon Prime Special, "Serious Black Jumper," garnered over 200 million views and received an Emmy long-listing in 2021.

Other acting credits include roles in "Borderline" (2016), "Sicknote" (2017), "Good Omens" (2019), "The Outlaws" (2020), and leading roles in "The Greatest Days" (2023), a musical film featuring Take That's music, and "The Fence" (2021).

“She delivers a show that unites the political with the personal in a way that many comics aim for, but few pull off with this sort of aplomb."
