I've been a freelance writer for twenty-five years.
​
Starting as a gag writer for Private Eye I have gone on to work as a script writer, journalist, creative, and copywriter for some of the country's top comedians, TV shows, radio shows magazines and websites.
​
TV shows I've worked on include Danger Mouse, 2DTV and The Joan Rivers Position.
​
People I've worked with include Al Murray, Jimmy Carr, Steve Coogan, Joan Rivers, Matt Forde and Jason Manford.
​
I've written speeches for business leaders, after-dinner speakers and provide a bespoke wedding speech service.
​
Also had the privilege of working as a tutor for the Arvon Foundation, and as a lecturer at Salford University.
Al Murray
Comedian
Matt Owen worked with me on the 2015 General Election campaign with the Free United Kingdom Party in South Thanet. He's a relentless gag machine and he wrote a large and very funny chunk of the book that went with that campaign, Let's Re-Great Britain.
Tim Searle
Animation Producer
Matt is an excellent writer who I first worked with on ‘2DTV’ - the world’s first animated topical sketch show, (a five series success for ITV, which required long hours and quick thinking). He’s a funny, talented man who works well within a team, he understands deadlines and is a pleasure to work with. I recommend him to you.
Susan Murray
Comedian, Writer and Actor
Matt is a great writer, always produces quality work either off his own back or in collaboration. I wouldn't hesitate to use him or recommend him. But whatever you do, don't let him drive your car.
I offer a broad and diverse range of writing services.
As every job is different please contact me to discuss rates and working together.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
