I perform with Vyvyan Almond in a sketch group called The Awkward Silence. Our website is here if you click on this link go on click on this one right here, GO ON.  There you’ll find our upcoming gigs and more.

We have been shortlisted for a BBC Writer’s Prize and a Writers’ Guild Award, and come runner-up in the Leicester Square Theatre Sketch Off competition. We have been described variously as “thoroughly entertaining and notably original” and “mediocre”.

We have produced seven hour-long comedy shows: The Voyage of The Narwhal (2014), about the doomed maiden voyage of a massive cruise ship; Racketeers (2015), about two crooks who open a fish and chip shop in Brighton; The Bastard King (2017), about the fight to control an infant heir to a contested throne; Bufo Bufo (2018), about two men who uncover a mysterious conspiracy in 1920s Chicago; The Awkward Silence’s Big Break (2022), a musical about a son and hopeless father sent to prison together; Enter the Vortex (2022), a mad and multi-layered sketch show; and Mind Milk (2024), a tale of dreams and nightmares. You can watch some of the shows FOR FREE via the links above.

We have an option for a TV sketch show and our five-part online series about a mysterious trillionaire, Richer Than God: The Tony Milch Story, is available here.
