Theatre was my first love. I'm endlessly fascinated by the possibilities of what can be created in the space between an actor and the audience. Here are some of the shows that I've worked on recently:

“A fascinating show”

A thrilling, immersive, escape-room style adventure. You and three friends have an hour to steal a painting from a purpose-built gallery, all the while avoiding cameras, fooling alarm systems, distracting guards, sneaking through vents, and avoiding lasers.

I was honoured to be interviewed by Status Magazine, one of the peak journals for the world of improvisation.

“I improvise because it's a way of being free.”
I made many of these shows (and many more!) with my company Jetpack Theatre. Visit Jetpack's website here.
I love teaching, collaborating on and speaking about theatre, especially improvised, interactive, immersive and
innovative kinds. Find out more about what I can do for you.
My friend Luke made brilliant, open-hearted, weird theatre. He also passed away far, far too young.
To honour his memory, I offer free support for theatre shows that are bizarre, physical, tender, comedic, or some combination of these. If you have an idea for a show like that and you want advice or feedback, please let me know.
I can't guarantee I'll have all the answers, but I'll give you what I can, and together we can fill the world with the shows Luke would have liked.
