Lola-Rose Maxwell is an actor, writer and director from Croydon.

Unconventionally for a Brit, she started her career doing long-form improv and has grown to be one of the most sought-after improvisers in the UK. Lola-Rose is probably most well known for her viral sketches with Stevie Martin, which have amassed over 45 million views across social media.

The duo now direct commercials under the guise NOT A ROBOT and continue to create original comedy content. In 2025, Lola-Rose directed her own short film Attack of the Coat and a zero budget micro short 'Ident'.

Acting wise she is probably best recognised for her role as Sarah in all three seasons of the critically acclaimed BBC/HBO comedy Starstruck but has also appeared on The Now Show, Doctors and upcoming feature film Mother's Pride. Writing wise Lola-Rose has contributed sketches to BBC Radio 4, two episodes of Channel 4’s Rude Tube, and multiple short films including Office Manager. She has also written a horror feature called SALT PIG about a lonely cannibal chef with daddy issues.
