The Emperor (Work in Progress)

Work In Progress Comedy From Award Winning Idiot.

Ed’s got a story he needs to tell, about a disastrous gig, a life changing opportunity and a surprising family secret…

Standup, Characters, Live Music, Lies. Keep your expectations low and nobody gets hurt.

Over many years Ed has written, directed and performed work for and with many of the UK’s most loved standups, sketch teams and clowns- including Milton Jones, Josie Long, Will Adamsdale, Barry Cryer, Pappy’s and Spymonkey.

He’s also the voice of Baron Greenback in Dangermouse, Gideon in Sky TV’s Brassic (to which he was a contributing writer) and the Co-creator, co-writer and star of the BAFTA nominated movie ‘Skeletons’ which won the ‘Michael Powell Award For Cinema’ at The Edinburgh Festival.

Ed is a ‘Peter Sellers Award For Comedy’ nominee. As a musician Ed has performed numerous gigs including Glastonbury, London Jazz and Porto Jazz Festivals and as a composer for stage, screen and audio. (Including scoring ‘Hamlet’ for Shakespeare’s Globe)
