Ambika Mod - Performer | BAFTA Breakthrough 2022
A love for American sitcoms as a youngster drove Ambika Mod to seek a career first in stand-up, and then as an actor. She started writing and performing comedy at Durham University and then at the Edinburgh Fringe over several years, performing a mix of sketch, improv and stand-up. Successful reviews earned her an agent and after a few guest spots on television, she landed the role of junior doctor Shruti Acharya in bittersweet comedy-drama This is Going to Hurt (2022). Ambika still likes to gig when she can find the time.
Supported by Netflix.
