Gill Smith - Comedy Writer & Performer

I am a full-time comedy writer and performer, always looking for further opportunities. I have experience of writing sketches, verses, gags, slogans, songs, stand up comedy and sitcoms.

I also enjoy writing articles, humorous or not, and teaching other writers. The About Me page gives you more idea of what I do.
