Timeline

1986

Fern Marie Brady (born 26 May 1986) is a Scottish comedian, podcaster, and writer.

Before becoming a stand-up comedian Brady worked as a journalist.

She achieved fame as a stand-up comedian by entering stand-up competitions such as at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

As a result of her success as a stand-up she was invited on to comedy panel shows such as 8 Out of 10 Cats.

2006

Following university, Brady originally trained to become a journalist, although she had been thinking about becoming a stand-up comedian since 2006.

2009

In 2009, she was an intern at Fest Magazine, a free magazine covering the Edinburgh Festival.

One of her assignments there was to write an article about a comedy critic trying stand-up.

Brady describes the experience as "the push I needed to realise it was what I wanted to do".

2010

Her first professional gig was in May 2010.

2011

She reached the finals of "So You Think You're Funny" at the 2011 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where she was placed joint third; the finals of the Piccadilly Comedy Club new act competition in 2012, and the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year in 2013.

She has appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Seann Walsh's Late Night Comedy Spectacular, The Alternative Comedy Experience, BBC Radio 4's The News Quiz, series 3 of Live from the BBC, series 14 of Live at the Apollo and on series 3 of Frankie Boyle's New World Order.

She has written for The Guardian.

2020

In 2020 she became a podcaster when she co-created a podcast entitled Wheel of Misfortune.

Brady was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum in 2021, as an adult.

She has been active within the field of autism education since learning of her diagnosis.

She has written about life as an autistic person in her 2023 memoir Strong Female Character.

Brady was born in Bathgate, West Lothian, where she grew up.

She went to school at St. Kentigern's Academy, Blackburn in West Lothian.

She is of Irish descent, has family roots in County Donegal, and grew up within the Catholic Church in Scotland.

Her father, Paul Brady, worked in management at the truck company Scania, and her mother worked at Tesco.

Her parents have since divorced.

While at the University of Edinburgh, Brady was editor of The Student, a weekly newspaper produced by students.

To finance her university studies, she worked as a stripper.

She graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Arabic and Islamic History.

In 2020, Brady and fellow comedian Alison Spittle started a podcast for the BBC called Wheel of Misfortune.

In late 2021, Brady co-presented the Dave travelogue British as Folk alongside fellow comedians Ivo Graham and Darren Harriott.

In January 2022, Brady began a 25-date tour of her new show, Autistic Bikini Queen.

In June 2022, Brady was confirmed to be a contestant in the 14th series of Taskmaster, which started airing in September 2022.

Brady described this year, when filming Taskmaster, as the "nicest ... of [her] life" and the show as "accidentally ... a really good format for autistic people" because, unlike panel shows, Taskmaster "is very clearly laid out. Every day, you are going to do nine tasks and you are just interacting with one other person".

The comedian saw her time on Taskmaster as more worthwhile than doing a documentary on autism because, through it, she believed she could reach more autistic people and "people [would] see a happy positive depiction of neurodiversity".

The show also helped her become more accepting of herself as an autistic person.

In 2023, her memoir, Strong Female Character, was published by Brazen.

Brady won the non-fiction section of the 2023 Books Are My Bag Readers' Awards, and the non-fiction category in the inaugural Nero book awards.

Brady is bisexual.

She was misdiagnosed with obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) at the age of 16, and revealed in 2021 that she has been diagnosed as autistic.

A reason Brady is glad to be autistic is because it meant she was less influenced by her peers:

"... I would rather be an autistic woman than a neurotypical one. I always felt like women seem to look left and right at what other women are doing and are influenced by their peers. If I’d have been more influenced by my peers, I don’t know what I would have ended up doing."

She has also said, "an autistic brain [can] provide an escape route from the traditional paths laid out for women".
