I coach, mentor and direct. I offer Zoom consultations, and run courses (online & in person).
Reviews
“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".
