About me
I am a Webby Award-winning Producer / Director based in London and Western Norway. My distinctive film-making style combines contemporary cinematic visuals with a unique comic sensibility, resulting in factual and documentary work that marries inventive storytelling with quirky humour. My film-making is entwined with my experience in comedy writing and performance. I am one of the leading comic improvisers in the UK, and star in West End smash Austentatious.
