Her first full-length play, Holiday, was performed by Fish and Bicycle Theatre at the Drayton Arms in 2025, and was described as a farce full of zingers by one reviewer, although it also "scratched the surface of something interesting, considered digging deeper, but then shied away into the next sex joke instead". Holiday is about three mums at a 2009 holiday camp, and was praised for its wit, but also criticised for its turn into absurdity. Personal life Okorodudu's husband, Graeme Edler, who was also an actor, died unexpectedly on February 10, 2004. Roli has two daughters and a son, named Celeste Joni-Lulu and Graydyn. .
