About Natasha

I’m a writer from Stoke-on-Trent, now based in Brighton, with over a decade of experience of writing words to earn my keep. I’ve worked in writers’ rooms for Rough Cut, A24, HBO, and Netflix, collaborating on character development, concept creation, storyboarding, and most importantly, jokes, with the likes of Joel Golby, Jamie Carragher, Jess Bray, Jack Rooke, Steve Stamp, Asim Chaudry, Bella Mackie and my long time collaborator, Oobah Butler. 

My first scriptwriting & comedy experience was on Fleabag and Killing Eve, providing me with an invaluable insight into how shows come together. I also have a book in development with Fig Tree.

I have also written various projects for the BBC, including sketches for radio shows, a podcast series, content for Beeb (the BBC’s audio tool), and web content. I have a long-running partnership with Oobah Butler on several of his owned projects, including two documentaries for Channel 4 and an upcoming original series for HBO (as well as the now-iconic Georgio Peviani project).

One of my proudest personal projects is the Football Book Club podcast, which I co-host with James Bugg, Jack Bernhardt, and James Boughen. Despite the chaos of wrangling three male comedy writers, the podcast was celebrated by Esquire as ‘the funniest podcast around’ and has been named a top podcast by Amazon once again in 2025. We’ve worked with brilliant guests including Ivo Graham, Maisie Adam, Rhys James and Steve Bugeja, and I am the reigning world champion at naming footballer’s favourite motorway service stations. 

I’ve also tried my hand at stand-up, successfully holding my own for 15 whole minutes at Komedia. To pay the bills, I’ve also written for brands like Expedia, Soho House, Nike, Armani Beauty, Adidas, Gucci, Burberry and Glossier. And, most importantly to my family, I am currently the face of Port Vale for Sky Sports’ 2024/2025 campaign. I am doing all of this to meet Jennifer Saunders.

Testimonials

Simply the most talented writer I have worked with. Makes sense of even my brain.
— Oobah Butler
Working with Tash is fun, funny, daft... and yet somehow I am always smarter at the end of it. Her emotional intelligence is such that she manages to make what feels like the funniest conversation I have had all week simultaneously feel like therapy.
— Joanna Wiggins, BBC
Brings joy and levity to every subject, without being scared to bare her soul. She’s the voice you need in your room.
— Joe Lyons, Abso Lutely
Natasha’s dedication to her projects, and to getting the truth across in a way that the audience will gobble up regardless of how bleak the subject matter, is unrivalled.

Quite funny, actually
