Production

I’ve really enjoy production and have worked extensively in it (mostly larger live comedy events but also online) and have additional expertise in fundraising and benefit gigs. I also once co-produced an exhibition on the history of alternative comedy

Please do get in touch if there’s something I could help with!

“Dec fully produced a very successful series of large online comedy shows for Next Up Comedy. We had fantastic feedback and he’s a pleasure to work with. We’d unreservedly recommend Dec”

Dan Berg, Next Up Comedy CEO and Co-Founder

“Stand Up To Cancer has worked with Dec over the last few years and he has produced several important – and sometimes unusual – live events for us.  He knows live comedy incredibly well and has been a great sounding board for ideas as well as being a pleasure to work with, we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.”

Simon Harrison, Head of Stand Up To Cancer, Cancer Research UK

“We’ve known Dec since he produced a fundraiser at the Union Chapel in London with an incredible line up in 2016. We asked him to produce our Christmas “Choose Laughs” event in the West End in 2018 and he was our first choice to produce our Comedy events and co-produce our Literary Fundraiser at Kings Place in 2023. He’s hugely experienced, friendly and kind and able to smoothly guide a production. His help has been invaluable and we’d absolutely recommend him.”

Dani Lawrence, Director and Co-Founder Choose Love (previously Help Refugees)
