Hello! My name is Sammy. I’m a self-taught writer, performer and Fringe Theatre producer.
I set up Covered In Jam in order to get my own show, That’s Not My Name, taken seriously in this life and since 2022 have co-produced 2 sellout & Ace Funded UK Tours, an Edinburgh Fringe Season and a Mad Forum with Theatre Deli in association with ASYLUM ARTS. My show spanned 4 years to critical acclaim and many, MANY audience walkouts. I am currently writing my next demonic project in association with The Pleasance. All to be revealed.
I have been a resident artist with both The Camden People’s Theatre and Harlow Playhouse, and have also produced various independent projects (Linda (?) by Eleanor Brewster (The Camden People's Theatre, Brighton Fringe; SPUDS (Brighton Fringe & Camden Fringe); Let The Bitch Out with Fury Entertainment and Eleanor Brewster (The Golden Goose Theatre); The Sticky Bits Scratch (The Rosemary Branch, The Pen Theatre)).
I am queer & neurodivergent, and am mainly here to either collaborate with others creatively or assist with the parts of producing theatre that I wish someone had told me when I started. Since starting out, I have worked with Nottingham Playhouse, The Pleasance, Camden People's Theatre, Wales Millennium Centre, The Old Fire Station and Colchester Arts Centre, to name a handful of venues.
I believe in work which surpasses the boundaries of theatre-making, is highly satirical and (especially) is made by disabled or mad artists. I want to support art that amplifies queer voices and am interested specifically in supporting underfunded and underrepresented artists.
Oh and ignore the state of these web pages - I am very, very bad at making websites. But very, very good at making theatre (?).
