About me

Craig Beadle is an award-winning writer – of stories, humour and (less excitedly) marketing

OK, enough of the talking-in-third person thing.

Hello, I’m Craig.

I’ve written stories for a few places, jokes for the BBC and marketing copy for multi-billion-dollar brands.

(That’s probably the order ranked by enjoyment, but sadly reverse order for payment).

Random stuff I’ve done

  • I’m a prize-winning short story writer

  • I wrote for the show which won Best Radio Comedy in Europe at the Rose d’Or Awards 2015

  • I once convinced my favourite writer to have a pint with me. He was lovely.

  • I’ve interviewed big name comedy stars, including Alan Davies and the team behind Horrible Histories and Yonderland.

  • I won an award as UK’s Funniest Blogger

  • I got one of the biggest bands in the UK to help me propose. Really.

  • I’ve performed stand-up comedy to a crowd of more than 250 people.

  • I’ve organised West-End comedy shows with some of the biggest names in comedy, including Stewart Lee, Jo Brand and Miles Jupp

“Like all the best short stories, though, at the core of Heaven is something that twists the way the its reader sees the world.

It’s a very entertaining story that wears itself very lightly: beneath its whimsical humour, it is clever, witty, philosophical and at the end, profound and moving about the nature of love.”
