About Writing: London Comedy Writers’ Festival 2011

The London Comedy Writers’ Festival looks like the ideal thing for me to go to – so I am.

There’s going to be talks by Griff Rhys-Jones, Jon Plowman and Paul Jackson – two of the most important and influential voices in British TV comedy – Rob Grant and Doug Naylor, the creators of Red Dwarf, Lucy Lumsden the comedy commissioner, Robert Popper, Jessica Hynes, James Cary (the inimitable sitcomgeek), David Tyler and Ed Morrish, both brilliant producers. And MUCH MUCH MORE.

It feels like something readers of this site might like too. Which is why I’ve got you all a £25 discount. Just quote the discount code simondunn when you buy your ticket online. Even at full price this is well worth going to I reckon, but now, with simondunn, it’s only £124.

Visit the site here, and see everything you don’t want to miss.
