About me
I'm a professional scriptwriter of some 35 years standing - film, theatre, TV and radio - and as a former BBC Comedy Producer/Director, have a long list of BBC credits to my name, including One Foot In The Grave.Whilst I specialise in comedy, I'm highly experienced in all forms of drama writing, and have written for and directed many of the top actors and comedians in the country. I also work with corporate clients as a script consultant and writer.
Highly-experienced in working to tight deadlines, I'm particularly known for my sharp and witty dialogue.
Some of my (many) testimonials can be found at http://scriptwhizz.com/reviews
In addition, I also teach scriptwriting & comedy at assorted institutions, including Goldsmiths, University of London, The Drama Studio in London, Screen & Film School in Brighton, and The Actors Centre, and will shortly be tutoring MA Drama Writing students at RADA/Birkbeck.
Quick to grasp the Big Picture, I also have an eye for detail (the other eye isn't bad, either), and I possess a ready sense of humour.
