London Hughes, the comedian and actor, reflects on her life in the UK and her decision to move to Los Angeles in pursuit of greater opportunities. Despite missing certain aspects of her home country, Hughes expresses no regret about leaving the UK due to the way she was treated. Since her move, she has experienced success, including a new TV show and comedy special. Hughes believes that aspiring comedians who are not white men should consider leaving Britain in order to achieve their goals.
Hughes has various TV and film projects in the works, although she can’t provide details due to the ongoing strikes in the industry. She discusses her new memoir, “Living My Best Life, Hun,” which recounts her challenging journey to success. Hughes emphasizes that she personally wrote every part of the book, ensuring its authenticity. The memoir aims to inspire others in similar situations and serves as a reminder that life isn’t always easy.
The book traces Hughes’ life from her childhood in Thornton Heath, south London, where she found solace in television due to intense bullying at school. She later moved to Brighton with her mother, facing more racism in her new environment. Hughes endured further bullying in university and struggled to break into the TV industry. Despite these setbacks, she remained determined to achieve her goal. Hughes eventually won the Funny Women comedy awards, leading to an agent and her first presenting job. However, she encountered racism throughout her career, with a makeup artist once using cocoa powder on her face. Despite these challenges, she persevered, and her memoir offers a cathartic and empowering narrative.
Hughes credits comedian Kevin Hart for her success in the US, as he executive produced her first Netflix special. She wrote her memoir in early 2022, focusing on her journey to achieving her dream. The book serves as a pep talk to others in similar situations, and Hughes hopes it will inspire and uplift readers.
