A showbiz institution in his own right, Hamlet will now be appearing weekly in the ShowLoop newsletter and website.

ShowLoop would like to thank Hamlet’s manager, HARRY VENNING, for allowing him to appear down under.

Harry Venning is an award-winning cartoonist, comedy writer and performer based in Brighton, UK. harryvenning.co.uk

Prior to becoming a full-time cartoonist Harry was an actor with several small-scale touring theatre companies, experiences that provided him with thirty years of material for his Hamlet cartoon strip in The Stage.

For twenty-five years he has provided The Guardian with the weekly strip cartoon Clare in the Community, based upon the misadventures of an empathy free social worker. In 2004 he developed the strip into a successful BBC Radio 4 sitcom starring Sally Philipps, which ran for twelve series.

He is an accredited lecturer with the Arts Society, offering talks on the cartooning, how to write a sitcom and British radio comedy.
