Richard Gadd
Multi-award winning screenwriter, playwright and performer.
Intelligent, passionate, versatile with an engaging, gentle & effortless delivery.
Scottish but can neutralise easily on request.
Winner of the 2016 Edinburgh Comedy Award for his show MONKEY SEE MONKEY DO.
Current show: Baby Reindeer - which won The Stage Edinburgh Award for Outstanding Performance 2019 as well as a Fringe First.
Originally from Fife but has lived in London for over eight years. His accent has softened almost completely and so sounds more neutral English.
