She has just taken over one of Scotland longest running comedy clubs at The State Bar in Glasgow.

Frances is a regular Co-host on The Macaulay and Co for BBC Radio Scotland and has presented and produced her own show called "The Frances Show" where she went to an "underground" (in other words illegal!) Madonna fan club and interviewed all the Madonna impersonators, it was aired on Manhattan Neighboured Network in New York. She is currently working on her own sketch show.
