Lucia Keskin will be best familiar with audiences for her brilliant videos on social media, with a series of viral clips that has given her a platform to showcase her comedic flair. Still just 23 years old, she has written her own sitcom for the BBC, entitled Things You Should Have Done, where she also takes on the leading role.
