RICHARD GADD

Richard is the Emmy nominated creator, writer, star and executive producer of the global hit Netflix series Baby Reindeer. The show was adapted from his Olivier Award winning one-man show of the same name, following sold out runs at the 2019 Edinburgh Fringe and the Bush Theatre in London. Richard's next original drama series, LIONS, is currently in pre-production and will be produced by Mam Tor for the BBC.

Richard won the prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Comedy Show at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe with his hit show Monkey See, Monkey Do.  The show was also nominated for a Total Theatre Award for Innovation and later that year, he also won a Chortle Comedian’s Comedian Award and was nominated for an Off West End Theatre Award for Best Performer.

​

He is also a successful actor and writer, starring opposite Daniel Mays in the BAFTA-nominated BBC2 single drama Against the Law and writing  episodes of Netflix smash hit Sex Education, as well as Ultimate Worrier for Dave and The Last Leg for Channel 4 where he is also one of their correspondents.
