After Jodie Comer’s Olivier Award Win, “My Dad Got Free Lunch at His Local Pub”

No one was more excited for actor Jodie Comer’s big win at the Olivier Awards than her parents, who attended the afterparty and even got a free meal after bringing her trophy home to Liverpool. Previews for her new one-woman show on Broadway, “Prima Facie,” start April 11th at The Golden Theater.

[@eightiesmusic1984]

You must be joking. My wife watches loads of films all the time and really takes an interest in quality drama from around the world. She does not think she is a good actress compared to many others and finds it laughable that she is lauded. The same applies to Stephen Graham- his poor Welsh accent is a case in point. Her face does not seem to demonstrate much expression, something I thought was a quality in any good actor.
