I got him on to talk about...
-What are the doing to give chances to new writers / writers from underrepresented backgrounds.
-How they keep track of consumer tastes to avoid offence.
-What he thinks of quotas and how they impact his work.
-Real reasons why a show wouldn’t get made (and how to overcome them as a writer).
-Why he started a live comedy night to discover new talent and writers?
-When he’s at live comedy nights and scouting for new talent, what is he looking for?
-How is social media impacting their job both in finding shows and getting feedback.
