Timeline
Lynn Ferguson Tweddle (born 11 April 1965) is a Scottish writer, comedian, actress, and story coach.
She was then accepted at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama where she gained a BA in Dramatic Studies in 1986.
To work as a professional actress, however, she required an Equity union card which was at that point only available through paid work, so with fellow student she formed the Alexander Sisters – a comedy double act parodying traditional Scottish variety styles typified by the Alexander Brothers.
She was then sidetracked into standup comedy doing her first paid gig on STV's Funny Farm.
