Geraldine McNulty
She has played the character of Mrs Raven in My Hero, and had guest appearances in Neverwhere, Gimme Gimme Gimme, The Vicar of Dibley, The Smoking Room and The Catherine Tate Show. Radio work includes guesting on Parsons and Naylor's Pull-Out Sections and The Party Line. She also appeared in French & Saunders' Titanic in 1998 as an extra. She also appeared in Summerhill as Zoe Readhead.
McNulty played a one-woman show at Edinburgh Fringe in 1995, 10 Women In One Frock Show, and then developed one of the ten characters, Betty, into a one-woman musical. The following year she starred in the musical "Betty", again a solo show, in London's West End. "Betty" was written by Karen McLachlan and directed by Kathy Burke.
A Guardian article (by Simon Fanshawe, 13 February 2003) once featured the comment, “Dawn French is off to deliver a birthday present to her best friend, the actress Geraldine McNulty”. The photographs in French's book "Dear Fatty" are also of McNulty: "BF" in that book would appear to refer to her.
Comedian Craig Hill has talked about how seeing McNulty's play 10 Women In One Frock Show at the Edinburgh Fringe in 1995 changed his life, making him switch from acting to comedy. He said "I don’t think I’d ever seen a show that made me want to be in it more. At the time I was an actor and not even thinking about doing stand-up but I was completely drawn to creating funny characters and making audiences laugh the way she did."
