Directing

"Working with Dec Munro was one of the best things I ever did for my comedy career. He will see through your bullshit, he will be blunt and honest and he will make you into the best version of yourself. I am never funnier or more productive than when I am in the company of Dec.”

“I had the pleasure of having Dec direct my debut Edinburgh hour. I thoroughly enjoyed working with him and he was particularly helpful in establishing a through-line and structure for the show. Whilst always amicable, I particularly appreciated his honesty and desire to push me further, whether to writing better jokes or increasing the dramatisation of a segment. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again and I thoroughly recommend him too!”

“The hottest young comedy director in Britain”

“Dec took my show when it was a formless lump of wet cement and helped me craft it into a soaring, art-deco monument that will last for centuries, providing the authorities see fit to preserve it for the sake of generations to come. I’d have him direct my commute to work if I had the budget for it.”

“I cannot recommend Dec Munro highly enough. He directed my 2017 and 2018 shows and they were both all the better for it. Dec has an incredible eye for structure and for teasing out the themes when you are lost in a forest of jokes and can’t see the wood for the trees. He is also such a positive influence to have around, helping to give you a realistic idea of where you are at and what you need to do to get your show to where you want it to be. His feedback is measured, insightful, never superfluous and ALWAYS useful, in fact it’s almost annoying how much he is right about things. He has not only a great sense of comedy, but a great sense of drama and storytelling that can lift a good show and make it a much better one.”

“Working with Dec was a really positive experience. He has supported me with advice on the structure and content of my shows but also has been invaluable with emotional support that is needed with creating a new show. He is one of the most genuine people I’ve met within the comedy world and is totally invested in both you and what you’re trying to create. He’s a wonderful person to have in your corner.”

“Dec is wise, kind and knows funny. We worked together on my first Edinburgh show remotely (phone calls, sending tape) and now I have a little Dec on my shoulder that notes me every show I do. Trust him, he’s good and will make you better.”

“Dec directed my Edinburgh debut, BADASS at the Pleasance - a disabled-led Theatre show about my experience of Bowel Cancer.  He has an absolutely razor sharp eye for 'comedy gold' and is wonderfully collaborative.  Most importantly for me, this was an intimate story about a real life health battle I had had, with embarrassing and personal details to mine through - and I felt consistently comfortable and supported in that working with Dec.  To have a director who you can talk to openly about your body and the process of becoming disabled is really crucial for this type of story, and what we created together was really impactful - to the point where one reviewer said the show "would save lives".  So please do hire Dec if you want to make a life-saving show.”
