I'm a British screenwriter whose first feature spec screenplay, the romantic comedy-drama 'Fado!', is currently in pre-production. Produced by Golden Globe Award winner Gareth Wiley, and directed by British Independent Film Award winner Jason Wingard, Fado! will star Oscar nominees Emily Watson and Richard E. Grant.
Following ‘Fado!’, I was hired to write a second feature, 'Christie The Great' (a comedy-drama based on true events); and then to work on another independent feature film. I have also since written another feature spec script, '80s Night' - a romantic comedy-drama/jukebox musical.
Although I now primarily write film scripts, I’ve also written scripts, jokes, sketches and spoof songs for podcasts, stage shows, TV, radio and online. My credits include iconic radio comedy show The News Quiz (BBC Radio 4), long-running comedy panel show Never Mind The Buzzcocks (BBC Two) and acclaimed comedy politics podcast Strong And Stable (Deezer/That Lot).
I’ve been a jazz singer, a (Labour party) City Councillor, a cinema manager and the comedy editor of The Huffington Post UK... though not all at the same time.
