Head of Comedy Development

Hannah joined VAL in 2019 as a Comedy Development Producer and in March 2021 stepped up to Head of Comedy Development. 

She produced VAL’s first radio production, The Delightful Sausage On: Staycations for BBC Radio 2, has worked across both series of BAFTA winning Chewing Gum and her other AP credits include Halfbreed and Birds of a Feather.

Hannah started her career as a post-house Runner before working in production and development at Big Talk, where she received a BroadcastTech Young Talent nomination. She was a Ones to Watch delegate at the Edinburgh International TV festival in 2019 and, when Hannah’s not collecting accolades that her mum has never heard of, she’s typically spotted at comedy venues across London in loud shirts. She wants to make funny shows from underrepresented voices.
