Keeping up with 2006 Funny Women Awards winner Suzy Bennett, we note her sizzling summer of comedy continues.

Suzy kicked off summer by hosting the fundraising event 'Tits and Giggles' to raise awareness for the breast cancer charity Coppafeel with Ellie Taylor, Nat Luurtsema, Mae Martin and Russell Kane headlining at the Bloomsbury Theatre.

Next up Stylist Magazine's favourite circuit comedian Suzy was out hosting and raising money for charity again, this time for the Moonwalk. This is the fourth time Suzy has been out pounding the streets in her Moonwalk bra for breast cancer research, but this was the Moonwalk on which she learned something: “The Moonwalk was amazing, brilliant entertainment and fantastic costumes but I struggled with the walk for the last few miles. Next time I should definitely train!”

Now Suzy's biggest challenge is getting her skates on with her highly anticipated début show 'Dancing on Thin Ice'. The show charts Suzy's hilarious quest to become a minor celebrity in order to be invited on to the reality TV series 'Dancing on Ice.'

Since the reality show has announced it is coming to an end in 2014 Suzy's show 'Dancing on Thin Ice' has a new sense of urgency about it! In it Suzy shares the highs and lows of her pursuit of happiness…and Torvill and Dean – before time runs out!

We strongly recommend you catch Suzy and her mounting ambition to be on TV in a spangly outfit, preferably worn on ice, this Saturday in London before she takes 'Dancing on Thin Ice' to the Pleasance Courtyard in Edinburgh.

So, when Suzy Bennett achieves her ambition and becomes a minor celebrity you can tell your friends you saw her first…
