- Developing several scripted comedy projects with various production companies, including comedy-mystery whodunnit The Last One You’d Expect

Past Projects
Welcome to the Archive! Here you can find out a bit more about every major project I’ve authored over the last 10 years, from live shows to short films to radio shows and so on.

Where possible, I’ve included links to be able to see the project itself. Enjoy!
