Gleebag! Phoebe Waller-Bridge's firm makes £7MILLION in a year as writer and actress reaps huge rewards eight years after creating the hit BBC comedy

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has gone from Fleabag to moneybags after making almost £7million last year.

The writer and actress is reaping huge rewards eight years after creating Fleabag as a one-woman show for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

By 2016, she was starring in Fleabag the hit BBC comedy, which became one of Britain’s most talked-about shows with a frank focus on a young single woman’s sex life.

It quickly won a second season and she went on to write the hit series Killing Eve for the BBC and was even hired to help jazz up the script for Daniel Craig’s new James Bond film No Time To Die, now delayed by the Covid pandemic.

Newly published accounts for her company PMWB Ltd – she is the sole director and shareholder – show that in the financial year to April 2020 she generated more than £8million.

More than half was paid into the firm’s bank account and she was owed almost £4million more.

After debts were paid, she made close to £7million in a year and the £600,000 she had in the bank a year earlier had rocketed to £4.87million.
