Actor · Holly Pinder in Ludwig
Sophie Willan’s official biography identifies her acting work; British Comedy Guide identifies Holly Pinder as her Ludwig role across Series 1.
About the character: Holly Pinder →
Sophie Willan’s official biography describes her work as an actor, writer, comedian and executive producer. It identifies her as the creator and star of Alma’s Not Normal and lists acting roles in Ludwig, Time Series 2, Click and Collect, Still Open All Hours and Class Dismissed.
This is a selected professional account, not a complete date-by-date filmography. Her Ludwig character is Holly Pinder, not a second performer: open the character file.
The official biography lists appearances on Taskmaster, Would I Lie to You?, Between the Covers and The Circle, as well as BBC Radio 4’s Sophie Willan’s Guide to Normality. Her Maison Two profile is another professional route for current work.
No agency or programme photograph, performance clip or showreel is reproduced without permission or a suitable licence.
British Comedy Guide lists Willan as Pinder in six episodes. Follow the Episode 1 to Episode 6 dossiers. A direct comparison of every broadcast end credit remains open.
The header uses a typographic name card where a licensed portrait is not available. Photographs require a suitable licence and a visible credit.
Her official profile demonstrates writing, comedy and acting work, but it is not a current casting-skills inventory. Accents, languages and specialist skills need an authorised CV before they are listed here.
The sources used for this draft do not establish a particular drama school or formal qualification. No training history is inferred.
BAFTA names Willan as the 2021 TV Craft Writer: Comedy winner for Alma’s Not Normal. Its television record names her the 2022 Female Performance in a Comedy winner for the same programme. BAFTA’s 2025 Scripted Comedy record names Alma’s Not Normal and credits Willan among the winning team; this is a programme/team award, not a third individual acting prize. The full individual and team awards ledger remains to be reconciled.
