James Alleyne

Concerned that he wasn't using a degree in medieval history enough, James Alleyne sought to bring the period to life through The Sitcom Mission. He accepts that he may have relied upon jokes rather than any actual historical research in seeking to do so. He is a solicitor by day, and occasionally by night. He has been writing since 2013, and has already seen the limelight in the finals of the 2014 Sitcom Trials in Bristol.
