Miss Freddie Stabb
She/Her
Award category:
Having worked as an actress for 31 years I have had a consistent career including TV work for Netflix, ITV, Channel 4 and BBC.
My representation for disability is in the roles that I take on, which are often not focused on the disability, but the character. When I started out in the mid 90’s I was advised to get used to rejection but never give up.
Most recently I have been campaigning with Actor at the Centre to return 1a Tower St to actors for training in this unique accessible building, repurposed by 7 Dials Playhouse, which which previously benefited actors across the profession including many disabled artists and lower income actors in maintaining their skills. This has been a devastating loss.
My passion for complete inclusivity within the arts and society is what drives me. I also help recovering addicts to live fuller lives. I hope by living my life, I can encourage disabled people to follow their dreams and never give up.
