Florence Noble

COMEDY | PERFORMACE

Originating from the UK, Florence spent much of her childhood stealing pens from Saatchi & Saatchi Design, London, where her mother was the creative director.

Florence attended a year of school in Paris to learn French, art school in Brighton and was encouraged into advertising by her mother. As a junior copywriter, she worked under some of advertising’s greatest creative directors at TBWA London, TBWA Hunt Lascaris in Johannesburg, and then briefly at Whybin TBWA Auckland.

Having obsessed over British comedy from pretty much the womb, she decided to take a course in film and television. She took on a multitude of production roles, worked for various magazines, ran a hit club night, and was fired from several cafes.

Florence created sketch comedy Blind Pilot, which lead to collaborations with Nick Boshier (Bondi Hipsters, Beached Az), including the 2014 Emmy award winning Australian comedy 7DaysLater for ABC2 and Meanwhile On Earth. Her unique style of comedy has gained her much notoriety and critical attention. 

Her short film Things Are Going Really Well did the festival circuit including the Melbourne International Film Festival, where she attended the 2015 Accelerator Program. She was nominated for Best Emerging Talent at the 2016 CAANZ Axis Awards. In 2020, she received a comedy scholarship from the New Zealand Film Commission.
