Polly March

Freelance Writer

United Kingdom

I am a freelance writer based in London. In 2015 I graduated with an Upper 2:1 BA in English Literature and have since had various pieces published across online platforms, whilst also having interned at London 360 as part of the Media Trust scheme. Most recently, my work was accepted for a mentoring programme with Cosmopolitan UK where I worked under the tutelage of their editorial team.

I write on a wide range of topics from feminism and politics, to pop culture, social issues and relationships. If you’d like to commission me – or get in touch for collaborative work – please find my email on the contact page.

Court Jesters to Jimmy Carr: A Brief History of Comedians

Comedian's, by very definition, are entertainers whose performance is designed to make an audience laugh. I know what you're thinking... that's me, right? Class clown and office jester, always the first to crack a joke at the smallest opportunity with a dry, quick wit that could make even your miserable boss sniff in approval.
