SHETLAND comedian Marjolein Robertson’s star is rising. After several years performing free at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, last year her show garnered five star reviews and was shortlisted for several awards.

She also took the number three spot on the influential The List Hot 100.

Earlier this month Jane Moncrieff went out west to have a yarn with Marjolein about how she became a stand-up comedian, how this particular line of work suits her personality and what role being diagnosed with ADHD plays in all this.

More of Jane’s Shetland Voices podcasts can be found here.
