Tatty Macleod is a French-British stand-up comedian and social media personality whose work offers humorous observations on the cultural distinctions between France and the United Kingdom. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in France by British parents, Macleod's unique background informs the themes of code-switching and third-culture identity central to her comedy. She initially pursued theatrical education at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, writing and directing for venues like the Lyric Hammersmith and the Southwark Playhouse before shifting her focus to comedy. Macleod performs regularly at major UK clubs, including the Comedy Store and the Glee Clubs, with her work gaining acclaim across Europe. She has also cultivated a substantial online following, with over 548,000 followers on Instagram and TikTok, where her sketches exploring bilingual experiences and cultural contrasts have garnered millions of views. Her debut comedy hour, "FUGUE," delves into her bilingual and bicultural upbringing; it sold out at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has since sold over ten thousand tickets on tour. Beyond live performance and social media, Macleod contributes to the i-Paper and is currently developing her first non-fiction book, using humor to illuminate the nuances of cultural identity and shared human experiences.
