London born and bred, Kelly is a working-class, queer, neurodivergent mum and performance artist; a noisy, feisty, hot mess. Her performance work is fun, interactive and always about class. She has made two solo shows: CHAV (2018) and SLAG (2019), and was the artist-in-residence with LADA and Canterbury Christ Church University (2016-2019) for their 3-year programme with Tate Exchange exploring class, social privilege and live art with young people from Dover and Wales. Kelly has lectured at the University of East London and Anglia Ruskin University. She is on the board of trustees for the interactive theatre company ZU-UK.

In 2024, Heart of Glass supported Kelly on the research and development phase of project, MILF: The Musical, as part of our PHF Speculative Futures programme. Heart of Glass helped to support the facilitation of a series of Mothers' Meetings (gatherings of young mums) in St Helens.
