:: ::

Described in the Telegraph as "the funniest man you've never heard of" Henry Normal is an award winning comedian, TV producer, poet and writer. He set up Baby Cow Productions with Steve Coogan and has toured with Pulp. He starred in Packet of Three, and co-write The Royal Family and the Parole Officer. He's done it all.

I got him on the pod to talk about - 

 

  • Why he struggled to transfer his comedy to TV.
  • How he picked his stage name and why.
  • Why he founded Baby Cow and how they operate.
  • How to get your start in TV / radio / professional writing.
  • The future of TV in his opinion.
