After a highly successful 2019 where Charlie George won multiple awards as a newcomer on the comedy scene, I had the privilege to design her Work In Progress poster and flyers.

Now an accomplished comedy writer for shows such as Frankie Boyle’s New World Order, Hypothetical and Have I Got News For You, I take a very small amount of pride knowing that I assisted in some way (when in reality, it’s her talent that has shone through.)

Outside of work, I am extremely passionate about stand-up comedy, in the past year having a few goes at it myself.

However, deciding to take a step back from performing, I still enjoy keeping myself intertwined with the circuit offering my time to up-and-coming comics.

Charlie George, one such stand out performer, is someone who I work closely with in-between jobs. The above flyer advertising one of her work in progress shows.

Charlie George and Jennie Falconer host their Crack Up Comedy Caberet in north London’s The Glory. I do their flyers and promotional material whenever their new show comes around.

Getting incredible reviews for their all encompassing show, I proudly do all that I can to make sure their work is out there and as interesting as possible.

Social assets, printed assets, additional material if needed,, I’m there to help.

Taking their split bill show to Edinburgh for the first time, I had the honour of doing their flyers for the Edinburgh Fringe. Wanting to stand out from the crowd, their main request was “all pink”.

Although I didn’t stray too far from their original request, I decided to skew it. A show built on GRRL power, I took inspiration from the colours of the Sex Pistols and Never Mind the Bollocks to be a bit more punk and closer to their show’s anarchic nature.

A University project, the task was to create a typeface that reflected The Big Issue. Taking inspiration from newspapers and the unwieldiness of urban life, I aimed to create a distressed typeface that followed trends of modern Sans Serif fonts.

Another University project, Patches was drawn in separate layers so that each element could be animated for a simple walk cycle. Inspired by Little Big Planet’s Sackboy, he was animated at University.

Unfortunately that animation has since been lost, however I like the characteristics of the drawing.
