Arabella Weir

Arabella Weir began her career with ambitions of being a 'serious' actress, attending a London drama school and working in regional theatre. After graduating, she was repeatedly offered comic roles and ended up leaning more and more towards a career in comedy, writing comic articles for magazines and working on TV with Alexei Sayle, Harry Enfield and Lenny Henry.

                                 Her big break came when she wrote and performed in BBC2's The Fast Show,

                                 creating memorable characters such as 'Insecure Woman'. The catch phrase

                                 'Does my bum look big in this?', gave rise to a bestselling novel of the same

                                 title in May 1999.

                                 Arabella has numerous other TV credits to her name, including appearances

                                 on Alexei Sayle's Stuff, Harry Enfield and Chums, and Randall & Hopkirk

                                 (Deceased). She has also presented Metro, She's Gotta Have It and several

                                 holiday programmes for the BBC. She wrote and co-starred with Richard E

                                 Grant in the BBC's Posh Nosh. Her film appearances include Honest, Decent

                                 and True and the hit Shooting Fish.

Her second bestselling novel Onwards and Upwards was published in April 2000. The film rights to her latest novel Stupid Cupid, published in April 2002, have been bought by Renaissance Films, for whom she has written the screenplay.

Arabella is an Ambassador for the charity One Parent Families. Her own parents split up when she was only nine, and she went to live with her father, who was a diplomat, in Bahrain.
