On Stage
“With such a sinister-yet-glam air about her, Brigid’s might have been the most convincing performance of the lot, clearly relishing in her character’s dastardly plots and schemes. Another fantastic voice here too, with perhaps my favourite musical number of the show”
Welwyn Hatfield Time 5 Stars

“The actress’s lethal, crystalline tones give her a politician’s edge in quickfire passages, though she becomes mesmerising in her softer, confessional speeches, holding audience interest with an emotionally-charged stillness.”

“Star of the show is Brigid Lohrey as the matriarchal Countess. She and her sidekick, the fey Peter (Simon Money) make a great double act: Her almost Victoria Wood-like musings contrast wonderfully with his physical, highly expressive comedy.”
Relative Values Review – Newshopper
“Gremio (Brigid Lohrey) who is master of facial and bodily comedy, enacting so many contortions as to leave the audience in stitches. She evokes the visceral humor of the kind seen in The Good Life’s Margo Leadbetter or Keeping Up Appearances’ Hyacinth Bouquet. ”

A few more on-screen roles.
Curry‘s Advert Beyond Techspectations Stuck in the Past – where I play a Curry’s Colleague who transforms into a Viking Queen to help her customers. Another hilarious advert from Curry’s and I’m delighted to be involved.
The Visit is a heartfelt campaign by The Stroke Association, raising awareness about stroke recovery and support. I play the Nurse, helping bring authenticity to this powerful message.
Hidden Barriers is a thought-provoking campaign by Shelter, shedding light on the unseen obstacles people face when trying to secure housing. In this project, I play a grumpy, rude Bus Driver, highlighting the everyday challenges that can make access to stable housing even harder.
Samuel, directed by Jack Haynes, is an award-winning short film inspired by his brother’s struggles. It portrays one man’s fight to leave his flat, while his mother—whom I play—is unable to cope with his mental health challenges.
In 2022, I filmed an Argos Ident for Coronation Street, bringing a touch of character to this well-known TV sponsorship spot.
In 2021, I voiced Angela, the sultry-sounding spokesperson in Brut’s No Messing About campaign, starring Vinnie Jones. But Angela’s polished, seductive voice isn’t quite what it seems—adding a fun twist to the advert’s no-nonsense attitude.
