TO THE GUTTER - Randal

Life is full of surprises. I never thought I’d be doing this.

Working as an interior designer, I started writing and performing Stand Up and plays at Edinburgh Fringe. It gave me the foundation and discipline needed to perform to a professional level.

I’m thankful for the advice and support from Charlie Chuck, John Fleming and Tomek Borkowy. They pushed me beyond what I thought possible. Mark Westbrook and ACS helped me train and build a valuable toolset I can depend on.

No doubt the surprises will keep coming.
