Her earliest television work was also in drama, including the British soap opera Brookside (1985), the police series Bergerac (BBC 1988), and the episode "Peril at End House" in Series 2 of Agatha Christie's Poirot (ITV 1990).

Funnell started taking on comedy parts with an appearance in the comedy/drama Boon (ITV 1989), and a role in the television movie Norbert Smith: A Life.

She later did guest appearances in the ITV hospital drama The Royal (2003), played two separate parts in the BBC's medical drama Doctors (2002 and 2004), and appeared in the ITV police series The Bill (2006).

Since 2009, she has voiced nine different characters in the From Software series Dark Souls, as well as Bloodborne.

Her stage roles have included 'Sense and Sensibility' at the Watermill Theatre, Bagnor, West Berkshire[2] in April 2014 and 'What the Butler Saw' at The Haymarket Theatre in Basingstoke during September 2015.
