Laura writes for a vast array of award-winning shows and high-profile talent.
Whether it be quick witted gags for programmes such as Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Frankie Boyle's New World Order or Have I Got News For You, to surreal sketches and scripted content for the likes of BabyCow or Channel 4, Laura also has a wealth of experience writing for chat shows and reality TV.
Highly regarded for her punchy, gag filled and unique narrative writing style, Laura is currently working on a script commission with Fudge Park productions and as a writer for Greg Davies' The Cleaner.
