2012: The Chronicles of Professor Elemental – Holomedia Productions
I was asked to come in and punch up a script for a new web series, following the adventures of popular character Professor Elemental, whose videos receive between 500,000 and 1,000,000 youtube views. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leANn4T5bK8
2007: Famished – Dastardly Productions
I co-wrote the script for Famished, a darkly comic musical about Victorian zombies. The play sold out at the Edinburgh Fringe and won 'C Venues' Best Musical.
BBC RADIO ★★★★
BROADWAY BABY: "The script is so sharp it could cut a squirrel in half, and the comic timing brave but brilliant. It's surreal and absurd, but incredibly funny." ★★★★★
THREE WEEKS: "Raucous, rumbling and raunchy, Famished is pure, unadulterated fun from start to finish." ★★★★
BRITISH THEATRE GUIDE “Riotous”
2006: Gonnabe! – Seven Ideas Productions
A ground breaking interactive mobile phone cartoon sitcom for young teenagers, that for the first time allowed viewers to get involved by texting in ideas about what might happen in next week’s episode, and gave them a chance to be animated, and appear in the show.

2004: 101 Days of Sadam – Tigris Productions
This ill-fated (due to timing and world events) sitcom, based around the last days of Sadam Hussein’s regime was co-written with John Bird.
2003-2007: Professional stand up comic
Over four years I worked the stand-up circuit in and out of London. Both comparing and as a headline act. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFT18Wes9MA
