Writing

I’m Rich Bunn. I like being silly and this is reflected in my writing. I write and narrate children’s stories, make comedy sketches for social media in the tradition of Blackadder, Monty Python and the Goonies and occasionally write slightly more serious (but usually satirical) pieces, such as for The Fence’s London guide Capital Letter and my own podcast Unseen Parliament.

I have also written 3 (as yet) unpublished books, a pilot for a comedy sitcom about the House Staff of Parliament (where I was a health and safety manager) and been featured in CIVVY  Magazine and on BFBS.

My non-fiction writing is focused on health and safety, risk, and management. I’m interested in the way we so often use bluster to hide incompetence and the best way to make complex topics seem engaging, relevant and interesting.
