I created and co-wrote the popular Beginners' Guide column in The Times for two years. It's now on the web - click here to go there. I have also penned countless jokes and sketches for radio and TV (for Rory Bremner and Alistair McGowan among others). I've also written a lot of arts journalism, mainly for The Independent, but also for other publications including The Times, Talk of the Town, and Time Out. If you click here there's a search engine that will find some of it, and if you click here then you'll get some of the pieces from The Independent. TV and radio shows I have appeared on include The Wright Stuff, Channel 5 News, Breakfast, Sky News, The Lorraine Kelly Show, Simon Fanshawe Show, Richard Littlejohn Show, and Stand-Up Live. I also co-founded and ran the London Unlimited internet radio station.
