About Freya

Freya McGhee is a hotly tipped comedian whose relatable material blends science, dating, and modern life. She is a Leicester Mercury finalist (2023) and has supported Helen Bauer on tour in 2024.

Freya has gigged extensively at comedy clubs across the UK as a solo performer and is one half of the smash hit live show 'Comedians in STEM' which had a complete sell out Edinburgh Fringe run in 2024 before transferring to London and again, selling out both The Bill Murray & Backyard Comedy. The night is a celebration of all things science, technology, engineering, maths and general nerdy stand-up that is fast becoming a cult favourite and amassing a devoted fanbase.
Her comedy draws on her background in chemistry and the ups and downs of modern dating, topics which have struck a chord online. Her reels have reached millions - especially among audiences who like their humour with a bit of brains.

"Funny, inventive and naïve enough to think a quote from me will shift tickets." – Rhys James

"Freya is one of those acts that whenever I’m on the bill with her, it’s like ‘OH HELL YES!’ She is so funny." – Helen Bauer

"Freya was perfect for compering our Science Comedy Extravaganza in Liverpool as part of the British Science Festival. She kept the audience lively throughout and expertly shepherded our line-up of scientist/comedians across the evening." - James Brown, Director of The British Science Festival

Freya is currently writing her first book - 'A Day In The Life of The Periodic Table' which will be published by Penguin Random House.
