Claudia Summers is an actress and comedy performer best known as half of sketch duo Stokes & Summers. Their comedy partnership began at the University of Bristol where they studied BA Drama: Theatre, Film and Television, swiftly followed by their debut show A Really Really Big Modern Telly (and Other Really Really Big Modern Stories), which toured in 2016 and 2018 to rave reviews. Last year they made their first podcast pilot, The Stokes and Summers Sketch Show, and several of their sketches were featured on BBC Radio Bristol. In 2022 they took their debut show 'Stokes & Summers: Careering' to Edinburgh Fringe.
Their series of film parodies in 60 seconds has been hugely popular on TikTok where they've amassed over 4 million views, and have recently collaborated with Richard Curtis on a sketch for Comic Relief.
