COVER - A Director's Guide to the Art of Stand-up - by Chris Head-1.jpg
“Head’s style is refreshingly breezy and simultaneously substantial. He offers practical insights: for example, audiences do not laugh at material, they laugh with or at the performer who discovers a compelling comedic self. A remarkable manual".

My Books

I have written two very well received books on comedy, published by Methuen Drama (an imprint of Bloomsbury).
Plus the forthcoming (2025) "The Complete Comedy Script Toolkit"
