Comedy writer/performer

Julian Dutton is a writer and performer principally for TV & Radio whose work has won a British Comedy Award and a BAFTA. Described by the BBC as 'one of the best vocal performers around,' he was born in London and has toured as an actor throughout the UK & Europe: as a comedian and impressionist he has appeared in the West End supporting many of Britain's top comics like Harry Hill and Al Murray. He co-created, wrote & performed in BBC1's hit comedy series 'The Big Impression,' and his TV sitcom 'Scoop' for CBBC is now in its third series. He has written & performed in more than two hundred radio comedy shows, including his own series ‘Truly Madly Bletchley,’ ‘The Harpoon,’ co-created and co-written with Peter Baynham, and the hit impressions show ‘The Secret World,’ in which he co-stars alongside Jon Culshaw. He has had columns in 'The Sunday Times,' 'The Independent on Sunday' and the 'London Evening Standard.' He has written two books, 'Shakespeare’s Journey Home: a Traveller’s Guide through Elizabethan England,’ and ‘The Bumper Book of Curious Clubs,’ a miscellany of eccentric societies. His third book, ‘Keeping Quiet: the Story of Visual Comedy in the age of Sound, 1927-2014,’ will be published later this year.

He is the co-creator and co-writer of the forthcoming BBC1 series ‘Pompidou, ‘ starring Matt Lucas. The first all-visual dialogue-free TV series for nearly twenty years since Rowan Atkinson’s Mr. Bean, the series is being filmed in 2014 for broadcast later in the year.

He lives in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, England, with his children Jack & Florence.
