Over and Out, my episode of BBC Sounds’ supernatural anthology drama Murmurs, was selected to open the series in January 2020. Elsewhere in the digital audio sphere, I am a series writer on the Gold British Podcast Award-winning podcast sitcom Wooden Overcoats, I wrote Between the Lines, a Zombies, Run! New Adventure, in 2020 and my audiobook instalment of comedy horror series The Scarifyers, An American Werewolf in Ludlow, was released in 2022. As part of comedy group Sad Faces, I co-created the sketch show Four Sad Faces for BBC Radio 4Extra in 2008, produced by Victoria Lloyd. My writing has also been heard in BBC Radio Comedy’s The Now Show, The News Quiz and The Show What You Wrote. I write, perform and produce my own sketch comedy podcast, Crowley Time.
“The podcast equivalent of 'impossible to put down’”

THEATRE
I’m best known in theatre as the writer behind the world stage premiere of the Rocky Horror sequel, Shock Treatment, which debuted at the King’s Head Theatre in 2015. In 2018 I directed my own modernised adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations as the Old Red Lion Theatre’s Christmas production. The adaptation was published by Methuen to accompany the Old Red Lion production.
My writing has also been performed at countless other venues including The Tristan Bates Theatre, The Arcola Theatre, The Vaults, Rich Mix and South Hill Park Arts Centre. Between 2013-2017 I was commissioned to write a series of comedy plays for young people by Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells, where I am an attached artist. In 2013 I graduated from the Royal Court Theatre’s Young Writers Programme.
TELEVISION
I worked as a series writer on the second season of BAFTA-winning animated series The Amazing World of Gumball for Cartoon Network Studios Europe, where I was responsible for devising episode premises, drafting full scripts and punching them up in the writers’ room.
“There are few examples of mainstream children’s programming as wildly imaginative, as visually and narratively daring, as The Amazing World of Gumball”
