I am a writer and performer of comedy with the group A Meeting About Laughter. We started the group as a fortnightly sketch show in the basement of a delapidated pub in Exeter, with a full complement of new material every show. In April 2002, we premiered our compilation show "The Unbearable Lightness Of Being Ernest" at the Exeter Phoenix.

The following year, Matthew Johnson, Jenny Sutton, Luke Kennard and myself created "The Freudian Slip", an episodic comic play ostensibly about Sigmund Freud. The play was selected for the 48th National Student Drama Festival in Scarborough. It performed four times to packed houses and won a Judges' Commendation for Comic Writing, and the Festgoers' Prize for the most popular show, voted for by festival attendees. The show then went on to perform at the Birmingham International Fringe Festival, and the esteemed Hen & Chickens theatre in Islington, London.

I am currently working with "A Meeting About Laughter" on several new projects, including a new stage play. For more information, our website is stuffed to the gills with information on old and new projects.

I have also done small bits of stand-up and comic song writing, and I am writing the songs for the forthcoming "Mary Popsin : The Panto" for Centre Stage.
