She’s unafraid to delve into risky territory for most comedians, with dark and witty observations on topics ranging from religion to murder.

But while her father Steve is also a comedian, Saffron insists she writes her own jokes.

'I enjoy writing my own material and making people laugh,' Saffron says, on her website, adding that she has been both writing and performing for two years.

'Join me on my comedy journey as I become the next generation of strong female comics.'

‘I collaborate with others, like most comedians,’ she told Buzzfeed. ‘But I do write my own material,’

She added suggestions that she must not write her own jokes due to the adult themes make her ‘feel angry’.
