"My flatmate at college bet me I couldn't do a stand-up comedy show. So I booked myself into the Footlights club at university and did a really impoverished piece of stand-up comedy.  I was like a Christian thrown to the lions. I was terrified and chain-smoked my way through it."
  SUE PERKINS, highly skilled comic genius, is the "spikier" half of the oolarious comedy partnership
   
  Sue grew up in leafy Croydon before venturing off to that intellectual Mecca, Cambridge University.  It was there that she studied English Literature.  Sue was known at Uni as a someone who would do anything for a bet, but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing.  It was after one particular bet that Mel introduced herself to Sue and a great friendship/ comedy duo was born.  After Uni, Sue attempted to gain employment as a copywriter and then worked as a teacher in Marylebone, London, before jumping into comedy full-time.
