Damien St John

In 2017 I featured on the annual BAFTA Rocliffe Forum list, a showcase for six writers whose writing, according to a panel of experts, deserves industry exposure.

Since then I have attended regular Q&A events and masterclasses at BAFTA, added both a spec script and a second pilot to my portfolio and in 2018 I picked up a writing credit for BBC Radio 4 Extra's topical news show, Newsjack and became a finalist in the David Nobbs Memorial Trust Contest.

I aim to complete a short film script and a movie treatment before the end of the year.

My comedy journey began after completing the prestigious Amused Moose stand-up and writing course. I performed over 300 times, including a successful spot at The Comedy Store in London, before I decided to focus my efforts on writing comedy for television.

Away from writing I am a broadcaster currently hosting a regional Breakfast Show for Celador Radio's Sam FM brand.
