She has been a stand up and TV star in the UK for several years now, with appearances on iconic TV shows such as Live At The Apollo and Mock The Week, as well as creating & performing popular comedic characters on The Lenny Henry Show.
Gina broke onto the American comedy scene with her appearances on Last Comic Standing (NBC), where she made it to the final 10, and then never went home! She went on to be named one of the top 10 rising talents in the Hollywood Reporter.
