Since then he鈥檚 written several books, co-wrote Jerry Springer: The Opera and won a BAFTA for his series Stewart Lee鈥檚 Comedy Vehicle. He鈥檚 also a lifelong fan of both The Nightingales and The Fall.

Director Michael Cumming has worked on Brass Eye, The Mark Thomas Comedy Product, The Omid Djalili Show and Toast Of London. Cumming began directing at the 大象传媒 on Tomorrow鈥檚 World, and then as a freelance director for Lonely Planet and The Word before moving into comedy.
