Biography
Logan Murray is a working comedian, an award-winning director, the author of Teach Yourself Stand Up Comedy, and a script consultant for the BBC.
He has recently led a series of writing workshops for the Radio Four Comedy Department. Logan teaches the art and craft of comedy around the world, from Colorado in the west to Shanghai in the east.
Over the past fifteen years, he has worked with many comedians, comedy actors, and scriptwriters who have gone on to appear on television and radio, though he is far too modest to make a fuss about it here. A list of former students can, however, be found on his website.
His courses provide a rare chance to explore a comedian’s mindset and to discover his belief that comedy is truly a life skill.
