I’ve scripted comedy drama, documentaries, sketches and gags for performers such as Jimmy Carr, Punt & Dennis, Bill Nighy, Jenny Eclair, Rory Bremner, Morwenna Banks, Tony Hawks and Griff Rhys Jones.
My topical news gags are featured in the current series of ITV1's Headcases.
My radio play: Henry's Girls, starring Robert Glenister (Hustle), Naoko Mori (Torchwood), Robert Duncan and Chloe Annett was broadcast last May on Radio 4. "A play full of music and delight" (Susan Jeffreys, Daily Mail).
I’ve been a commissioned sketch writer on 6 series of both Punt & Dennis: It’s Been A Bad Week and Parsons & Naylor’s Pull-Out Sections.
I’ve written and researched several radio documentaries – including 7 episodes of Absent Friends (on unseen characters in comedy) presented by Tony Hawks ("a thoroughly joyous listen" - Radio Times).
Other documentaries include the Kenneth Horne centenary show: "Sound The Horne" hosted by Jimmy Carr. Plus a two-part history of Comedy Playhouse – presented by Tim Brooke-Taylor - and another two-parter on character comics: Either Too Young Or Too Old.
My radio comedy All Fingers and Thumbs starred Bill Nighy, Susannah Doyle and Jenny Éclair.
Other shows I've written for include Bremner, Bird & Fortune, The 11 O'Clock Show, News Huddlines, The Right Time, Loose Ends and The Griff Rhys Jones Show.
