Matt Hulme is an experienced and versatile comedy writer from Hull. He has been a key ingredient in some of the nation's top satirical programmes, its longest-running panel shows, and everything in between. Over the last decade, Matt has written jokes and scripts for some of the biggest comedians and TV presenters in the industry.
With a background as a BAFTA-nominated TV producer, Matt has an excellent shorthand for what each show or client requires. This invaluable production experience gives Matt a unique insight into what material makes a final script and survives the edit to make the broadcast show. This helps him to work efficiently and successfully no matter the brief.
Matt is 5'11", bald, wears glasses, and is totally fine with all three of those facts.
