Early lifeFrances-White was born in Australia and adopted at ten days old.[3] She moved to the UK and attended Oxford University and founded improv theatre company The Spontaneity Shop of which she is a director.[4] ReligionFrances-White became a Jehovah's Witness while still a teenager. Her years in the religion and how she left it were the focus of her 2012 Edinburgh Fringe stand-up comedy show and two of the episodes of her BBC Radio 4 show Deborah Frances-White Rolls the Dice.[5][6] CareerAfter developing a number of improvisation formats at The Spontaneity Shop (including the improvised romantic comedy DreamDate which had a pilot made for ITV[7]), Frances-White turned to stand-up comedy. Her first significant solo show was How to Get Almost Anyone to Want to Sleep With You which she performed at The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2007[8] and at The Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2008[9] where she also hosted The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow.[10] Frances-White's recent shows have been more personal. Cult Following (2012) dealt with her experiences as a teenage Jehovah's Witness,[11] Half a Can of Worms (2013) was about tracking down her biological family[12] and Friend of a Friend of Dorothy (2015) was about feminism, sexism and homophobia.[13] Frances-White has continued to develop new improvisation formats. Voices in Your Head is a show which allows comedians, improvisers and actors to create comedy characters while the audience watches. Guests have included Phill Jupitus, Sara Pascoe, Russell Tovey, Mike McShane and Hannibal Buress.[14] In 2015 she created The Beau Zeaux a long-form improvised comedy featuring a rotating cast including Marcus Brigstocke, Thom Tuck, Rachel Parris, Brendan Murphy, Ed Coleman, Milly Thomas and Pippa Evans.[15] Guests have included Russell Tovey[16] and Dan Starkey. Her BBC Radio 4 series Deborah Frances-White Rolls the Dice was first broadcast in spring 2015[5] and featured stories about her adoption, green card marriage, and quest to find her biological family. The episodes were titled "Half a Can of Worms", "Cult Following", "Visa Issues" and "Who's Your Daddy"? In January 2016, The Writers Guild of Great Britain awarded her Best Radio Comedy at their annual ceremony.[17] A second series was first broadcast in autumn 2016.[18] With Sofie Hagen she created the podcast The Guilty Feminist and she is also the creator and host of the podcast Global Pillage. Corporate workFrances-White regularly appears at corporate events speaking about confidence, charisma, diversity and sexism.[19] Her TEDx talk on Charisma vs Stage-Fright[20] was cited by James Caan as the secret of his presenting skills.[21] WritingWith her writing partner Philippa Waller, she contributed an episode of Young Dracula in 2014.[22] She has co-written two books: The Improv Handbook with Tom Salinsky[23] and Off the Mic with Marsha Shandur[24] both published by Bloomsbury.
