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.
Sun 29 Apr 12 Apologies for the lack of updates lately. Busy but not with things I can put into a line or two, sorry. Anyway, here's a quote I love: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. You are the guy who’ll decide where to go.” - Dr. Seuss Mon 5 Mar 12 Hooray! My friend & Edinburgh flatmate Ian Fox has produced a book on doing an Edinburgh Fringe show.

And yes, I am in the acknowledgements, but not getting any royalties, so only mildly biased! Sun 26 Feb 12 One of my students now has his book published. He's been working so hard on it for many years, so congratulations to Raman. It's a fictionalised account of growing up in Mumbai, then making the move to a very different UK in the 60s. Go and buy it from Amazon here. Sales of Lego have been rising. It's the only way many people can afford to own a house. |
