London Hughes always believed she would be a superstar.

But at the age of 27 she hasn't quite achieved that.

The Croydon woman has, however, earned not one but three Guinness World Records, became the youngest person to win a prestigious Funny Woman award and written and starred in TV and radio sitcoms.

The comedian is set to make her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut with the tale of a young black girl's search for superstardom set to a backdrop of popular 90’s TV shows.

During the hour set, Hughes mixes her love of dance, television and comedy with funny and, at times, awkward audience participation as she shares her life journey into the world of entertainment as ‘a black woman.'

“I’d always look at Britney (Spears') career and compare it to mine," Ms Hughes said.

"But It was so depressing. By the age of 12 Britney had starred in Disney’s The Mickey Mouse club and by 14 she’d achieved pop stardom.

"By the age of 12 I’d made it into my school’s book club, and by 14 I’d achieved a regular period.”
