STORYTELLER
I am the writer, producer and host of the podcast Rogues Gallery Uncovered.
This uses first-person narratives, sound effects and humour to tell the colourful,
amusing and fascinating stories of history's most badly behaved men
and women.
I hope to expand this concept into other areas and create more independent history and art-based content.
EXTRAS
I have been a stand-up and improvisational comedian performing on the London circuit. I once won a BBC comedy writing competition and produced several comedy websites.
I have worked as an advertising copywriter and as a producer of music and speech in-flight entertainment for a variety of major airlines.
