"This is the best comedy writing course I've done. Chris’ course was organised, incredibly thorough and well designed. I managed to complete my first draft of my sitcom in 5 weeks which I didn’t think was possible. Chris’ feedback was also very positive, encouraging and specific. During the last session, Chris went through some information about the industry itself, which was very helpful as that information can be difficult to find alone. I absolutely loved this course and I got a lot of value out of it. I highly recommend doing this course!"

On ZOOM Inspiring guidance
Instead of written script notes, I discuss the script with you the writer. In conversation we will come up with great ideas and solutions to issues between us. So, if you have written a 30 minute SITCOM or COMEDY DRAMA script, receive notes, feedback and inspiration in this one hour session. Send me the script, I'll read and review and we will discuss. Incredibly practical, helpful and industry focused.

As well as providing you with a complete set of essential tools, on the course you will write a lot of funny scenes with your characters without worrying initially about where they’ll slot into a story. You'll simply be working with that week's tools. This freedom will allow you to make discoveries of scenes and situation that will be highly useful to your script and will take your characters places you’d never considered.

I have directed lots of comedy shows: Edinburgh Fringe and other UK festivals, Melbourne Comedy Festival and other international events, Soho Theatre and many other venues. Here are two recent examples.

Michael John Byrne
"Chris is a fantastic comedy coach. His sessions are so well structured and informed. He gets the points across very clearly and it is impossible not to pick up countless tips to improve your comedy writing. Chris is a master in the art of crafting comedy and I would highly recommend his courses."
Gyles Brandreth
"It’s beautifully directed [by Chris Head] - the drama of the play develops alongside the comedy of the between-scene interludes: ingenious & compelling."

On "You Only Live Forever", Edinburgh Fringe & Soho Theatre
Lottie Field
"I cannot recommend Chris highly enough as a comedy coach. He has obviously built up a tremendous wealth of knowledge and depth of understanding about every aspect of comedy over the course of his career."
