Roli Okorodudu is an English actress and playwright.
Early life
Career
Okorodudu has had minor roles in various TV series, including as a primary school teacher in one episode of One Foot In The Grave and an AA Chairperson in two episodes of Slow Horses.[2]
Since 2019 Okorodudu has worked as a playwright, two of which won London playwright awards. Her first full-length play, Holiday, was performed by Fish and Bicycle Theatre at the Drayton Arms in 2025,[3] and was described as a farce full of zingers by one reviewer, although it also "scratched the surface of something interesting, considered digging deeper, but then shied away into the next sex joke instead".[4] Holiday is about three mums at a 2009 holiday camp, and was praised for its wit, but also criticised for its turn into absurdity.[3]
Personal life
Okorodudu's husband, Graeme Edler, who was also an actor, died unexpectedly on February 10, 2004. Together they had two daughters, named Celeste and Joni-Lulu.[5]
