Toby Potts

David Osborne is a successful English barrister, author, public performer and public speaker. Some years ago, he hit the headlines nationwide and made legal history when he delivered his final speech to the jury entirely in verse. For this tour de force he was dubbed 'The Barrister Bard' by the popular press.

He followed this with the publication of a short humorous book on the law entitled No Holds Barred and written under the pseudonym of Ivor Bigg-Wigg QC. This is available as an e-book on Kindle.

He has appeared regularly on radio and television as a legal commentator, and has written a number of articles for the national and regional press, as well as various journals. His blog can be found on his website www.david-osborne.com

In the recent past, David has also written and presented two legal revues, both times to full houses. See his website for an excerpt of one of his live performances.

He is regularly in demand as a keynote and after-dinner speaker, and has written a short book on the Art of Public Speaking, available on Amazon.

He is married with four children and lives in Somerset.

Last year, David's first book in what is planned to be a series of humorous legal books was published by Monday Books. It is based on the fictional character of Toby Potts, a young and aspiring criminal barrister climbing the greasy pole to fame and fortune, or so he hopes. It is entitled May it Please Your Lordship and written under the name of Toby Potts.

Book Two, entitled Order in Court, is now available on Amazon, to be followed next year by Book 3, entitled My Learned Friend.
