Kya Garwood is an actor, producer, and professional acting double. Her stage work began as a dancer/model in various hair and fashion shows. This progressed in Kya winning a local beauty pageant, and she turned the tables; rather than being a contestant, she found a way to co-host them. Later on, taking the plunge and relocating to London, in the hope of continuing as a host/presenter, Kya went on to work in various hospitality roles for major sporting events, including Football, F1, BTCC, World Superbikes, and even worked with a travel company to gain knowledge of Skiing. As this was a hard industry to crack, Kya decided to go back to her initial love which was acting. Her stage work includes the West End as a supernumerary for Stephen Daldry’s An Inspector Calls, at the Cockpit Theatre in the lead role of Starla for the comedy; Package Deal by Frederick Stroppel and recently at the Omnibus Theatre in Clapham, in Cheese and WIne And All Other Yarns directed by Ashley Scott Layton, playing the roles of Aunt Enid and Matron. ‍ ‍
