VG Lee is a popular lesbian author whose books have insured her a secure and ever-expanding fan base.

At her book readings, which she often combines with stand-up comedy, she attracts a regular and appreciative audience, with her witty and incisive material also charming those who are new to her writing.

Whether performing at a large theatre such as The Cochrane in London or the tiny but intimate Sanctuary in Brighton VG Lee has a unique talent for engaging an audience.

VG Lee has written three novels; The Comedienne, published by Diva Books, 2000, The Woman in Beige, Diva Books, 2003, Diary of a Provincial Lesbian, Onlywomen Press, 2005. In 2008 her first short story collection As You Step Outside was published by Tollington Press.

In 2009, to celebrate her sixtieth year she became a stand-up comedian and performed sixty gigs around the county. During that year she took her brand new one-woman show, “SHUSH!” to the Edinburgh festival and in January of this year her new line of work was rewarded by being given a place as a finalist in the line up of the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year 2010 competition.

VG Lee has performed at numerous literature/comedy events and festivals including GFest, Homotopia, Laughing Cows, York Lesbian Arts Festival (YLAF), Spit Lit Festival, Polari, Women in Tune and Southbank’s London Literature Festival 2009.
