British Comedy Guide

Hello, is it me you're looking for?

This is like filling in an online dating profile only with added vulnerability and fear of rejection...

Longtime aspiring comedy writer based in the south of England - Southampton to be specific. I have had years of sporadic writing including a brief flirtation with Kev F Sutherland's 'The Sitcom Trials' at The Comedy Pub off Leicester Square. My scripts crashed and burned and I still wake up at nights silently screaming at the memory. I can say however that one of my scripts was read by Nick Ewans, aka the zombie that gets skewered with a swingball pole in 'Shaun of the Dead'!

Having got fear, procrastination and brutal self-criticism down pat I figured it would be an idea to try writing with someone else. To be clear, I have a day job, as I need to eat, so I am not established "in the business" and writing remains a hobby. For now.

Ideally, I would like to collaborate on developing sitcom ideas, but I am open to sketch writing, gag writing and anything that exercises the comedy writing muscles.

If the above hasn't driven you from your keyboard/keypad and you too are looking for a writing partner then get in touch. For the sake of all that is good, please get in touch...

Hello Simon and welcome. I've tried a few comps too and had the inevitable rejections. What are your sitcom likes? Not that anything I write is anything like the stuff I love to watch.
