Bennett Arron - yes it is that way around

About Me

Well, what can I tell you that you don't already know?Well, I am both Jewish and Welsh. When I was younger I wanted to grow up. I went to Drama School. I got kicked out. I started writing for people like Russ Abbot and Freddie Starr, then I decided to move into comedy instead. Am currently working as a standy-uppy comedian and writer. I've won a number of writing awards. That number is 2. Am presently writing on the second series of 'Genie in The House' - the highest rated children's show on Nickelodeon and 'The Slammer' - the highest rated children's show on BBC. I also have six of my own projects under option wth various production companies. Oh and I've just directed a documentary for Channel 4. Which got me arrested.

My Interests

Other people's business. Throwing. Half-listening. Worrying.

I'd like to meet:

My neighbours. Olivia Newton John. The Pope. Scarlett Johanssen (although I will no doubt be disappointed. As will she). Buck Rogers.

Music:

Nothing since 1987.

Movies:

Lots of science fiction stuff like, you know, Star Wars and X Men and everything. And proper films like Sideways, Memento, Transamerica, Herbie Gets Laid.

Television:

My Family. My Hero. Anything with 'My' in it. Or anything with Neil Morrissey or written by Simon Nye.

Books:

Look and Learn Annual 1975 Topsy and Tim Talk to Strangers. The Big Book of How Things Work

Heroes:

My Dad. And Wolverine. Co-incidentally I have never seen them in the same room at the same time.
