Lee Gant
Lee Gant is a writer with extensive experience in multiple genres including comedy, hidden camera, reality, entertainment, and quiz shows. He has worked on projects of all sizes and budgets, whether it is writing voiceover for the edit, one-liners, sketches, or full studio/location scripts. He is particularly adept at large scale, fast turnaround scripts – often working closely with execs and commissioners on set and under pressure.
With a background in production and edit producing, he’s a writer who is always plugged in to the bigger picture of the show, knowing what is needed, and with a good grasp of what is likely to make the cut.
He’s written for some of the biggest names on TV including Claudia Winkleman, Alan Carr, Davina McCall, Sophie Willan, and, for one glorious job, Lindsay Lohan.
He is currently developing his third short film with director Marcus Liversedge.
Lee lives in North London with a dog, two cats, six chickens, and a long-suffering wife.
