Julia Davis with Steve Coogan

Julia sent a demo tape to Steve Coogan and joined his national tour in 1998.

Steve Coogan on Davis:
"Julia toured with me eight years ago after sending me a homemade videotape that was funny and disturbing at the same time. Her comedy has its own unique voice. Sometimes I think it can be a bit alienating; I gave her some notes on the last series of Nighty Night, but she ignored them. I think Human Remains is the best thing Baby Cow [the production company Coogan co-owns with Henry Normal] has ever done: Julia's a comic genius in some episodes."
