Iona Jette

Contains 1 collection item, 1 performance, 2 in total. Currently showing 2 in total.

An alter ego of Louise Taylor, visit www.shoutthesun.co.uk to find out all about what she does

Here is a small extract ' Fearing typecasting as a flat-chested spinster because of my natural comic timing, I set off on my journey to free my bosom and soul by writing and performing my own material.  My alter ego – Iona Jette – emerged from the wardrobe and with her my passion for poetry returned.  I am a member of Equity.

Now as I fully inhabit  the role of ‘grey raver’ – a new socio economic group comprising the over 60s or Baby Boomers – there is a certainty that comes from truly knowing who you are and being comfortable in your skin – slightly lined though it may be! – and that life will always be a work in progress.'
