Chris Head

I teach comedy writing for BBC Writersroom, Bath Spa University and the British Library. I also run online and in person comedy writing classes that anyone can join. I coach sitcom, comedy drama, sketch and stand-up writing. And if you are performing your work, I can coach you in the delivery and performance.

My speaking training also has an unusual focus on getting the content and the words right before looking at the delivery. Speaking coaching clients include PwC, Allen & Overy and Superheroes ad agency (Amsterdam). I also work with individuals.

And I direct shows of original material, from stand-up to comedy plays, for the stage. I work with original material as again I have a sharp focus on the writing as well as the performance. My live directing work has been seen at Soho Theatre, Bloomsbury Theatre (London), Pleasance, Assembly and Underbelly (Edinburgh) as well as internationally including Melbourne Comedy Festival.

I am the author of Creating Comedy Narratives for Stage and Screen and A Director's Guide to the Art of Stand-up both published by Bloomsbury Methuen.
