Ian McFadyen, best known as the creator of The Comedy Company, has been writing since he was a student at Melbourne University. In the Seventies, he wrote university revues, children’s plays, stage musicals and created several long running educational series for ABC radio and television. In the Eighties, as independent producer, he made his living writing training films and documentaries while writing and performing cabaret shows at night. That led him to producing the seminal television sketch comedy series The Eleventh Hour which later spawned both The Comedy Company and Fast Forward. He has also written feature films, television drama, sitcoms, children’s animation and a libretto for a children’s opera. He is now tired and just wants to play computer games.
