Our new BA Comedy and Satire programme, now entering its third year, has a new convenor. After teaching on the course for the past year, Diane Messias will now be stepping up!
Diane is highly-experienced in theatre, radio, TV and film. She is a writer, director, producer, script editor, script consultant and performer, specialising in comedy and drama. She has written for and worked with many of the top household names in British comedy and theatre, including Rory Bremner, Harry Hill, Alistair McGowan, Ian Hislop, Richard Ingrams, Paul Merton, Richard Wilson, Michael Hordern, Annette Crosbie, Alan Coren, Willie Rushton, Andrew Sachs and Barry Took. At the BBC, she wrote and produced multiple series of The News Quiz, and directed and produced the first radio episodes of One Foot In The Grave.
We hope you will join us in wishing Diane all the best in her new role. We can’t wait to see what she has in store!
