Mark Leigh

A Surrey-based author, by day I work in a leading marketing agency but by night (and on weekends and religious holidays) I write, having had 57 humour and trivia books published to date, many with my co-author Mike Lepine.

I’ve written books for the Great & The Good including Chris Tarrant, Jeremy Beadle, Julian Clary, Ade Edmondson, Des Lynam and Roy Chubby Brown.

TV projects have included writing for Joe Pasquale, Hale & Pace and even Noel Edmonds (a dark period in my life of which I am deeply ashamed).

Current WIP projects include two novels: a comedy, Dick Longg Saves The World! and a crime thriller, Dead Beat - currently in pre-production as a TV drama series.

Have also written three full-length spec film scripts, Lord Spud, Kakia Vice (shortlisted in a BAFTA competition) and School of The Living Dead - as well as a psychological horror film, Trespass which has a director attached and is also in pre-production.

Oh yes, my first scripted short film, He Came From The Moon, is due to be filmed later this year.
