He is described in one review as ‘Fat, fun, firm and fair’ and what more could you want from a comedy tutor.  He is creative, quick thinking and experienced.  Above all he is still out there as a working headline comedian, very supportive and above all a really nice bloke.

Harry has been a professional stand up comic since 1996 and within six months of doing a first ever open spot, he already had a paid gig at 'Jongleurs' in Camden and has continued to work for them as a comic ever since, along with headlining at other major comedy club chains. He still performs weekly as a headline act. Harry plays a 'Saff London' geezer on stage which is 100% removed from the real Harry and he got into stand up after years working in aviation as a commercial airline pilot.

In 2003, he wrote a stage play for a London Fringe theatre and has since written nine full length stage plays all of which have been performed at as professional productions at theatres around the UK. A comedy he wrote in 2005 called 'Club Class' has now been seen at over 120 large scale UK theatres and each year it is still being performed somewhere around the UK. In 2007 he penned the 5* reviewed 'Joy Division' about Nazi sex slaves which has had two successful London theatre runs. He also wrote a special full length play for Shakespeare's Rose Theatre in London called 'A Rose Without A Thorn' which premiered there in 2008. He has since written or directed three plays for this iconic and historic theatre.

He made his professional directing debut in 2006 with Godbers 'Shakers' on a national tour and is now much in demand as a stage director and in 2010 directed a major UK large scale professional tour of 'A Midsummer’s Night Dream' and has also in 2010 has directed a professional panto, a TIE tour of ‘Chartist Rising’, a regional tour of ‘The Cherry Orchard’ and in 2011 is directing a major large scale tour of ‘Twelfth Night’. Over the past few years Harry has had plays performed which he either wrote or directed at major theatres such as ‘The Wycombe Swan’, ‘Yvonne Arnold’ in Guildford, ‘The Lowery’ in Manchester, ‘The Derby Playhouse’, ‘The Everyman Theatre’ in Liverpool and The Malvern Theatre.

Harry underwent a teacher training course in 2008 for us, although he already had years of teaching practice as a qualified flying instructor. We use Harry not only for the excellent record and the skill he has as a professional comic, but also as a pro theatre director, he can really bring the performance aspect out of the students and the results he brings from our students are amazing. He also has an excellent relationship with commercial comedy club bookers such as Mirth Control, so can use his connections to push some students into some great comedy clubs for us.

In his spare time he still flies but now just for fun and also undertakes some volunteer roles including arranging and carrying out spot checks on police stations to check on the welfare of those in custody. He loves travel and has visited most parts of the world including in 2008 on the way back from performing a stand up show in Singapore, he got stuck at Bangkok airport for 3 days when rioters took over the airport shortly after he landed for a connecting flight to London and because of his background in aviation for a few days he became the un-official on scene reporter for the BBC and the Times.  By the way he crash landed twice, including once at RAF Northolt which nearly killed a member of the Royal family which made the national papers. Don't worry as both times it was the plane at fault and not him. Interesting fact is that he took up flying after years of suffering from vertigo. There is a funny video of Harry flying a plane in the video section on this website.

Harry you will discover during the course loves pubs but oddly has never drank alcohol and is a life time teetotaler and hard to believe especially when you see the stage persona. He is a member of the local model railway club and is building a Russian 00 scenic layout which sounds anoraky and well, basically it is somewhat.  He is married and recently started referring to his gorgeous stunning wife as ‘My significant other’ which is a sad trait he has recently picked up from being a member of that model railway club.

Feel free to call him with any questions on the course on 07946 904208

This is boring and sad but he wanted to show a picture of the 00 guage train layout is is building. And yes that is matchsticks used to make the Dacha and yes that is a hard boiled egg on the church dome painted gold.
