Ariane Sherine
Ariane Sherine Juniper (born 3 July 1980) more commonly known as Ariane Sherine is a British musical stand-up comedian, comedy writer, author, novelist, journalist and singer-songwriter. She created the Atheist Bus Campaign, which ran in 13 countries during January 2009.
Sherine has written more than 75 columns for The Guardian's Comment & Debate section, and has also written for The Observer, The Spectator, The Sunday Times, The Independent, Independent on Sunday, Esquire magazine, NME, and New Humanist.
She was expelled from school aged 16, and spent her late teens hanging out with the band Duran Duran at their studio. She sang backing vocals and played piano on two tracks at the recording sessions for the Duran Duran album Pop Trash.
She started in journalism aged 21, reviewing albums for NME before coming runner-up in the BBC Talent New Sitcom Writers' Award 2002. She also did six months on the stand-up comedy circuit in 2003, reaching the Final of the Laughing Horse New Act of the Year.
She then wrote comedy for British TV shows including the BBC sitcoms My Family and Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, and links for the Channel 4 quiz show Countdown after appearing on the show in 2004. In addition, Sherine wrote episodes of several CBBC and CITV shows, including The Story of Tracy Beaker, The New Worst Witch and Space Pirates, before returning to journalism in early 2008.
In 2010, Sherine suffered a major nervous breakdown which she attributed to being violently attacked by a boyfriend while pregnant in 2005, as well as having had a violent childhood. She was diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, paranoia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, for which she is on medication. As a result of her breakdown, she did not write for over three years.
Sherine returned to writing for The Guardian at the end of 2013. In 2014, her comedy pop group The Lovely Electric released their debut album. Sherine wrote, performed and co-produced all the tracks. The album received good reviews, and an average of 4.7 stars out of 5 on Amazon.
In 2016, Sherine went back to the stand-up circuit. Her song Love Song for Jeremy Corbyn was featured in the London Evening Standard. Her weekly email Adventures of a Stand-Up Comic was serialised on the UK's leading comedy website, Chortle.
