Stephen has written for television, radio and theatre. Work for Radio 4 includes The Princess Bride, My Difficult Second Album, The Continuity Man, Marathon Man, Making The Best Of It with the Comedians Theatre Company, and The Two Georges, based on the true story of how Phillip K Dick learnt to drive from an FBI agent who was investigating him. His adaptation of The Man Who Fell To Earth goes out on Radio 4 in April 2024.
He was chosen for the BBC Drama Writers Academy under John Yorke, and has written for EastEnders and Casualty, and wrote 70+ episodes as a contract writer on Doctors. In 2020 his Charlie Kaufman-esque episode The Joe Pasquale Problem got record audiences at the start of Lockdown and had #joepasquale trending on Twitter higher than #coronavirus. It was shortlisted for a Writers Guild Award.
He's written sitcom pilots for BBC Comedy, Leopardrama and Bayamber, and been a finalist in the Bafta Rocliffe Comedy Forum and Sitcom Mission. In 2011 he won Shine Pictures' Big Idea science fiction prize, and he did rewrites on movie Breaking The Bank starring Kelsey Grammer, released in 2016.
Stage plays include Mad For It at Manchester's Royal Exchange and Zimbabwe Boy for Flight 5065 at the National Theatre. As artistic director of Flight 5065 he filled the London Eye with comedy, theatre and music for a one night arts extravaganza. Artists included Damon Albarn, Jo Brand and the Royal Court Theatre.
He worked for several years as a stand-up comic and improviser, co-creating The Reduced Edinburgh Fringe Impro Show for Scratch at the Pleasance Edinburgh. He regularly performs with Norwich's The Intellectual Hooligans
