Sean Fee is a comedy writer based in Manchester. He's been writing sketches and jokes for a few years now with material broadcast on The Show That You Wrote, Newsjack, Breaking The News and more recently for the BBC Radio 4 Extra show DMs Are Open. He won the first David Nobbs Trust New Comedy Writing Award back in 2017. He's currently working on an online sitcom called The Chef's Kiss and although he's submitted a script for the Sitcom Mission this year called Mourning People he has fortunately never stepped foot in a funeral home.

"Very, very happy to have my script included on the Sitcom Mission longlist this year, can't wait to see what the actors make of it. I don't really like to indulge in hyperbole, but this is a lovely turn of events."
