Jade was one of the breakout stars of this year’s Edinburgh Festival where her woman-show – EAT THE RICH ( BUT MAYBE NOT ME MATES X ) – earned a slew of 5-star reviews and completely sold-out throughout the run. It won Jade The Scotsman Fringe First Award, The Holden Street Theatre Edinburgh Fringe Award and The Filipa Bragança Award.
