Youth Review
Drawn Comedy
I have been drawing cartoons since I ingested a biro as a toddler, but have very little to show for it, for procrastination, thy name is Edward. Click on each ickle picture for expansion. Obvs.
Moth World (c.2008) - When moths rule the world.
-
Socialist Monopoly (c.2007) - Based on my stand up, and slightly more successful.
-
Dictator Studies (c.2010) - Knocked off as my brother Jim's birthday card. A new approach to totalitarianism.
Filmed Comedy
My first feature film: 'Rory' (2012)

When I was a child (c. 2000) on a child's holiday, this is what we did...
An "art film", c. 1999.
Behind the scenes for the short film "Overactive Solutions" (2012). I would put this at the top of my clips, but the makers kept marginalising me, so I'm returning the favour.
Radio Comedy
The Brooke and Ed Show, every Monday night at 9pm on Roundhouse Radio. Also Saturday mornings on Hayes FM from 10am - 1pm.
Also, 'watch' the interviews of semi-famous people on youtube. I say 'watch'. I mostly mean 'listen'.
