I founded Amaline Theatre Productions in 2005 and ran it until 2012, producing original work and championing new writing. My background includes ten produced plays and the practical experience of getting stories off the page and in front of an audience. Writing something is one achievement. Getting it performed involves an entirely different collection of spreadsheets.

I’m an inaugural BAFTA Connect member and a trained script editor and reader. Alongside developing my own work, I help other writers explore character, structure and voice, identify what needs attention, and find a way forward that respects what they’re trying to create.

Through Deliciously Bright Podcasts, my work includes:

Excuse the Jess

My original scripted comedy-drama, which I write and perform.

Da Silva Linings Ghostbook

A paranormal comedy co-created with John Parry.

That TV Comedy Podcast

Comedy conversations, episode breakdowns, quizzes and enthusiastic overthinking, co-hosted with my sister, Amanda Davies.

I also write and record Write to Comedy, my independent publication exploring television comedy through character, craft and culture. It gives my lifelong habit of taking sitcoms apart a respectable home.

My current projects include a Cardiff-set comedy-drama and a novel. Across all my work, I’m interested in people whose lives don’t follow the expected path — and in finding the humour without losing sight of what matters to them.
