Solo Stand-Up Show (Writer, Performer, Researcher)

Melbourne International Comedy Festival & Adelaide Fringe Festival

Solo, hour long stand-up show, featuring a half hour original film, shot on location in Nottingham, which I also wrote and produced.

MAYBE TOMORROW

A Sitcom Pilot (Writer)

A pilot script, character outline and episode break-down for a series co-written by James Doggett. It was submitted to the BBC, and we met with Simon Wilson, who asked us to write another script, and send it to a list of producers he provided, including Charlie Hanson.

The story revolved around 20 somethings who lived in a share-house, but rather than getting it together, they were doing everything they could to avoid getting it together. It was essentially about parties, sub-cultures, lust, DIY and trying not to actually deal with anything.

Script available upon request.
