TO THE GUTTER - Randal

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

While working as an interior designer I started writing and performing Stand Up and plays at Edinburgh Fringe. It gave me solid grounding and discipline required to perform to a professional level.

Charlie Chuck, John Fleming and Tomek Borkowy gave great support and advice. 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 on coming.
