Sweetener of Colour

Sweetener of Colour, British Caribbean comedy, actor monologue, identity and acting, Black British actors, witty short skit.

Honey, not sugar. Sid compares himself to honey — versatile, lasting, rich — while Yendis mocks him… until the metaphor lands. A funny but layered take on acting, identity, and staying sweet in a bitter industry.

Sid Edwards

Raised in East London in a home that pulsed with the spirit of Jamaica, Sid Edwards grew up navigating the layered experience of 1970s Britain as a second-generation immigrant. His dual heritage, embraced with pride, has always shaped his worldview, rooted in resilience, creativity, and community. Before acting, Sid’s journey took him through engineering, youth and community work, training delivery, and creative industries such as web and graphic design, each path sharpening his insight into people, culture, and connection. In 2023, a local incident with national resonance shifted his trajectory, opening the door to acting and creative expression. Since then, he’s brought his grounded presence, lived experience, and passion for authentic storytelling into every role he takes on. This is the beginning of a bold new chapter and he’s all in.
