Writing for standup for radio

Writing for/ at/ with/ stand-up comedian John Gordillo and his appearance last week on the Radio 4 behemoth, the News Quiz.

This year, in development

The upside with working on development projects is the variety of the blank page, and the chance to mould material from scratch.

The downside? Can't even mention who I'm working for, let alone on what.

Proud to plug, though, currently in the presence of like-minded souls in the Talkback Thames comedy department, and the only way I can pretty up this post is with this 2010 updated version of the old Thames TV logo.
