About me
After being told at that I'm not 'creative', I'm proud to say I now write & direct branded content, and have done it for the likes of Facebook, Rude Health and Simba (The mattress company, not Mufasa's son) I'm also part of Mid-Brow, a sketch comedy duo, with the late Tom Blackwood. He’s not dead, he’s just notoriously bad at time-keeping. We performed at The Pleasance and have appeared on the BBC, notching up over 1,000,000 views and screening at BAFTA and the BFI. And that's enough about me.

  • Netflix "Too Hot To Handle" Urgent Weather Report
    Netflix "Too Hot To Handle" Urgent Weather ReportToo Hot To Handle - a show which deducts money from contestants for any form of sexual contact. So, to celebrate their new season, I wrote and directed this film campaign, which was all about trying to squeeze as many innuendoes into a weather report as I possibly could. Apparently I was the "pefect" person for the job. Still not quite sure what that says about me...
