With [Joe Wilkinson](https://disciplesofcomedy.com/comedian-joe-wilkinson.html) she formed the sketch duo Two Episodes of Mash, playing three straight Edinburgh Fringes and earning two BBC radio series. Then came Philomena Cunk, her magnificently confident and clueless interviewer on Charlie Brooker's Weekly Wipe, who grew into Cunk on Britain, Cunk on Earth, Cunk on Life and Cunk on Cinema and brought Morgan two BAFTA nominations and a Primetime Emmy nomination. She has also played Liz in Motherland and Kath in After Life, and writes and stars in the BBC Two sitcom Mandy. ## Follow Diane Morgan Put Diane Morgan in your D.O.C., your twelve, and the free D.O.C. letter brings their new dates, episodes and videos each week.
