Rachel Parris - Comedian, Improviser, Presenter, Author

“i trust gemma completely. she’s taken half formed comedy ideas from my head and woven magic with them; made them make sense, turned them into a story and given me confidence, direction (and excellent choreography). she just gets it.”

Nick Lane - Writer

“Working with gemma is never less than an absolute joy. fiercely intelligent and delightfully approachable, she is not only a remarkably creative, supportive dramaturgical presence, but her ideas are also inventive and exciting, without altering the original artistic vision.”

SCRIPTS

What I can do for you:

I'm an experienced script consultant, editor and dramaturg with a background in new writing for theatre, comedy and cabaret. 

I've worked with writers, comedians and devising groups to hone, sharpen and focus their narrative, characters and jokes. From your first show to a seasoned pro, I can provide a sounding board for your ideas, and help you discover and deliver the best version of your story. I work with scripts for theatre, film, stand up, cabaret and comedy character narratives. 

I offer a range of services including:

  • script reading: either providing a written report or a one to one zoom notes session

  • In person or zoom sessions working more in depth on a script. Half or full day. 

  • Practical sessions for performers wanting to try ideas out / work on their performance of a script. 

Please get in touch for rates or if you have any questions.
