Heidi Lynch

Heidi Lynch is a Canadian actress, most noted as a co-creator and co-star of the web series Avocado Toast.[1]

A graduate of the University of Windsor,[1] Lynch first met her collaborator Perrie Voss in 2015 when they acted together in a production of Peter Colley's play The Ghost Island Light.[2] Lynch had recently come out as bisexual, while Voss was going through the recent announcement that her parents were divorcing, which ultimately formed the initial storyline for Avocado Toast.[2]

She also appeared in the film The Drawer Boy, had a voice role in the animated short film A Pig's Tail, and has had guest roles in the television series Handsome Devils, Reign, Covert Affairs and Spinning Out.

Lynch is a two-time Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Lead Performance in a Web Program or Series for Avocado Toast, receiving nods at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021[3] and at the 11th Canadian Screen Awards in 2023.[4]

She is married to English actress Faye Marsay.[5][6]
