Joanna Page

Best-known for her role as Stacey Shipman in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey, Joanna Page tells her incredible real-life story, in conversation with journalist, presenter and Former Editorial Director of Good Housekeeping, Gaby Huddart.

Revealing how she moved from a small village on the outskirts of Swansea to the sets of some of the world’s best-loved TV shows and films, Joanna Page will take the audience behind the scenes of her most iconic roles and introduce them to a colourful cast including Ruth Jones, James Corden, Richard E. Grant, Johnny Depp, Liam Neeson and Emma Thompson.

Joanna also details her early life growing up on the glorious Welsh coastline – a life (not unlike Stacey Shipman’s) filled with family and friendly neighbours – to the sudden shock of moving to London at 18 (totally alone) to take her place at RADA, one of the most prestigious performing arts schools in the world.

Whether she’s navigating early awkward auditions and other uncomfortable incidents, chasing her big break, riding success (sometimes literally), falling in love, or discovering the magic and madness of life as a mum-of-four, Joanna will speak openly about what it really takes to make it in the acting world while staying true to yourself.
