Writers Directory Profile:
Hi!
I'm Ian Wolf (Real name Ian Dunn). I'm 23 years old, have Asperger's syndrome, and mainly work as the BCG's news reporter. I want to get into comedy as both a performer and a writer. I've once came runner-up in Channel 4's "Send-a-Sketch" competition on their 4Laughs website. I was also chairman of the University of Teesside Comedy Society (now defunct). You can visit the old Youtube page here. Some of these clips helped my university win the It's Not Funny competition, winning a comedy gig featuring [p]Bill Bailey[/p], [p]Marcus Brigstocke[/p], [p]Andrew Maxwell[/p] and [p]Simon Amstell[/p].
I have also performed comedy successfully. I and several other people performed a tribute to [c]QI[/c] for our university, which worked very well. I'm probably the biggest [c]QI[/c] fan in the North-East, having worked as a "Newshound" for their webstie.
My favourite TV sitcoms include [c]Dad's Army[/c], [c]Yes Minister[/c], [c]Drop the Dead Donkey[/c], [c]Black Books[/c], [i]Seinfeld[/i], [c]Peep Show[/c], [c]Outnumbered[/c] and "Green Wing" ([p]Tamsin Greig[/p] is the funniest woman around, no question).
Other comedies I like include on TV include [c]The Day Today[/c], [i]Futurama[/i], [c]Have I Got News For You[/c] and [c]The Colbert Report[/c].
On radio, I like [c]I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue[/c], [c]The Now Show[/c], [c]Just a Minute[/c], [c]It's Been a Bad Week[/c], [c]Genius[/c] and many of the comedies on BBC Radio 7 such as [c]The Penny Dreadfuls Present...[/c], [c]Undone[/c] and [c]A Series of Psychotic Episodes[/c]
I have had some sketches for NewsRevue and Tilt broadcast, and also sent in a cutting to The News Quiz which got read out in the first episode of 2009. I have also attempted stand-up comedy, but that wasn't as successful.
My current project projects include a sci-fi comedy project, and a book - [i]The History of Humanity: A Somewhat Mildly Amusing Guide to a Now Extinct Species[/i]. View Entire Directory Entry
