COMEDY
I have a keen passion for creating comedy, and have written and performed comedy on stage, radio, and screen, notably for BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra, and Channel 4. I currently train in improvised comedy at The Free Association & HOOPLA, and perform standup in London.
I’m always interested in collaborating with new comedy creators in any form, so please do get in touch if you like my stuff!
