3 Star Richards

Paul Richards is a drummer/drum teacher, comedy writer/performer (for theatre), playwright and novelist based in Cambridge. 42, lanky, can’t grow a beard. Likes to talk about himself in the third person.

As a writer/performer he has taken countless (well, 34) shows to the Edinburgh Fringe, tours the UK frequently going through quite a lot of cars and has had some quite nice reviews in the process. He talks very fast, usually about his love of Ginsters slices and often tries to justify it all as theatre. His 2018 play won an award, with his 2019 (but still touring…) show, Harvey Greenfield is Running Late picking up national acclaim. The feature film version finally went into production in 2021, with Paul once again taking the title role alongside Mr Motivator, Liz Barker (Blue Peter), Norman Lovet (Red Dwarf) and many others. It will premiere at the Dublin International Film Festival in November 2023. The follow-up play ran at the 2022 fringe (alongside Paul’s three other shows…) to brilliant press, with his drumming comedy show, My Function Band Hell, nominated at the prestigious Leicester Comedy Festival for ‘best musical show’ in 2023. Paul is the founding member of IBiC Productions.
