"Comedy keeps the heart sweet" Mark Twain
This is the website of TONY KIRWOOD.
I am a leading UK comedy specialist - in writing, teaching and performing.
My COURSES and WORKSHOPS are designed to motivate people of all ages, types and backgrounds to get up (or even lie in bed) and be funny. My philosophy is, if I can do it, so can you. And that being funny is good for you.

WRITE A SKETCH IN A DAY
Saturday July 12th 1100 - 1700hrs. Oxford House, Derbyshire Street, Bethnal Green, London E2 6HG
In the course of one day, you will learn how to brainstorm ideas and turn one of them into a full two minute sketch with characters and dialogue. Oh yes - and make it funny as well. You will come out with a sketch, techniques for creating further flows of comedy ideas and ways to approach the market. This is a hard-working but fun day.
Venue: Oxford House is 5 minutes walk from Bethnal Green Underground Station, one stop from Liverpool Street Station and is easily accessible from the main London rail terminals.
Cost: £48.00 or £38.00 if you book before July 1st or are one of my previous students.

I am a successful comedy writer, with material performed on a large number of UK and European TV and Radio Shows.
I am also a professional actor, with credits on many TV comedy programmes such as "The Brittas Empire", "Murder Most Horrid" and the recent film "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory". I have also been a standup comedian.
"I love comedy. It's the only art form that's also a social grace. You meet a sculptor at a party, you can't say "He's terrific, look at what he can do with the potato salad."
