About Me

I am a theatre tour booker and producer. If you need a show produced, I'm your person

Since going freelance I have worked for a wide range of clients in the commercial and subsidised sectors; across comedy and theatre, large scale and small.

While at RED Entertainment, I placed our catalogue of dozens of shows in over 400 of our regional venue partners. I found over 1000 dates for different shows, including musicals and week-long plays, and reduced average routing mileage by 1000 miles for our regular 40-date tours.

Most recently that has included week-long musicals “Surinderella” from RifCo (playing Theatre Royal Windsor, Belgrade Coventry, Bristol Old Vic and many more) and “Wilko: Love and Death and Rock ‘n’ Roll” (playing New Wolsey Theatre Ipswich, York Theatre Royal and Salford Lowry among others). But I also book commercial one-nighters across a range of genres into midscale theatres, and book small scale Fringe shows into Off-West End venues.

I am a recipient of the 2023 Stage One bursary award and a nominee for the Malcolm Hardee award for Comic Originality.

With me you get a bespoke, boutique service that you won’t find in one of the larger, impersonal theatre programming companies.

I have a great understanding of negotiating theatre deals, what venues are appropriate for what show and what venues sell well. I insist on following Equity guidelines on tours, including maximum driving distance between shows. I have highly specialised knowledge about the industry and my goal as a tour booker is to help people whose brainpower and time are better spent elsewhere.

Basically, all the other stuff that distracts people from the actual show they’re putting on!

I’m also a producer in my own right, most recently producing a sell-out revival production of THE PIRATES OF PENZANCE at the Chichester Festival Theatre. I also produce seasons of work at the Brighton Spiegeltent and the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with my company Liebenspiel.

Other recent producing work includes 5 star musical transfer THRILL ME: THE LEOPOLD AND LOEB STORY at Jermyn Street Theatre, where it was nominated for 6 Off West End Awards. It then went on to win Best Director and 2x Best Male Performance in a Musical.
