Graham Linehan
Graham is one of our top sitcom and comedy writers, including Father Ted and The IT Crowd. Graham has campaigned for women’s rights and had been targeted by activists as a result. He has been cancelled from his own creation Father Ted Musical and has been trying his hand at stand-up comedy. Graham performed outside the Scottish Parliament at the Edinburgh Fringe, after his Comedy Unleashed show was cancelled. Graham’s recent autobiography Tough Crowd charts how he made and lost a career in comedy.
