Welcome to my lair

About Me


I like climbing trees and I can do a really good impression of a giraffe running. Sometimes I stare at walls for a long time. I used to be an actor, but I'm not anymore. Am now a scriptwriter. I started writing after being accidently mistaken for a writer in 1999. I have since produced, co-written and performed in live comedy shows and toured them around the country. Once toured in an improvisation show, like Whose Line is it Anyway, but with less hairy women, for a year, I miss it... Sometimes I work in film behind the scenes including two big features, but now I have finally decided what I want to do with my life I am doing an MA in Screenwriting for some fine-tuning. I don't have a first degree, or even an A-Level so I hope I will understand any big words that come up. I love avocado and I don't like peas.
Here's a trailor for a film I was in:

I also have a lot of experience behind the scenes in film. Including production office, script editing, script supervision, continuity and production stills photography, examples of my work can be seen on: www.noskillzcomedy.com and on

I'd really like to make a dark twisted music video one day, a passion since childhood. I also wanted to be a fairy and be touched by the Krankies... hell yeah... Dear Jim...

(He never did fix it for me but here's a picture of me with the Krankies)
