FINNIAN SHARDLOW
United Kingdom
UK. Born in Stoke-on-Trent. Currently, a Media Officer based in Bangor University, North Wales. I mainly do comedy scripts because it’s the only thing I can write without falling asleep.
My Masters research project specialised in contemporary satirical screenwriting and culminated in a 4-part parodic soap series which deconstructed hegemonic masculinity.
In 2018, two episodes of my spoof satirical radio show, Culture My Arts, were commissioned for broadcast on BBC Radio Stoke. An independently released series is due to launch in November 2020.
