Hello I am JJ, I've been a comedy fan all my life.
Classic British comedy is my main love; the period of the 1950s onwards is unbeaten the world over, now my passion for comedy has never been greater as I trail through our brillant comedy heritage.

I am currently writing [on spec] my first sitcom "Special Place" set in a family run seaside cafe.
