Endy McKay

Endy is an actor, writer, and theatre practitioner. She is passionate about how we translate the human experience and create connection, and she enjoys sharing these skills and empowering others. Endy trained as an actor and continues to work nationally and internationally in theatre, television, film, radio and voiceover, working for companies such as the RSC, The National Theatre, Universal Studios and ITV. She was a regular in Channel 4’s BAFTA award winning comedy series Peep Show and has just finished filming the upcoming new Charlie Brooker crime comedy series for Netflix.

As a practitioner Endy has devised, written and directed numerous theatre and film projects, often with marginalised groups. She has worked with institutions including Lyric Hammersmith, Arcola Theatre, The RSC, Barbican and Hackney Empire, using theatre and film to respond to social issues and spark change.

She has completed the Enhanced Optimist Producer Course and has written as an independent reviewer for the Arts Council.
