Meet Luke Richards, author of Dave's New World, a dystopian comedy, and winner of the Bath New Comedy award for 2024 for his stand-up routine. We chat about getting published, performing comedy, future projects and more.

Learn about entering the comedy scene, accepting that not everyone will like your work, and the difficulty of getting noticed in any creative industry.

Get to know Luke better with our New2theScene presenter and hear about the publishing industry from the perspective of a debutant author, working with editors, and a writing routine of blocking out weekends and 'splurging' thousands of words in a single sitting on any topic.
