The
Dawson Brothers

The Dawson Brothers - strictly speaking two brothers, Steve and Andrew, and childhood friend Tim Inman - are a team of comedy writers who have written for some of the biggest shows and most-loved talent in British television. They were co-producers and on-set writers for Judd Apatow's 2022 movie ‘The Bubble’ and have recently written screenplays for Working Title and Archery Pictures, along with a sitcom pilot for Warner Bros. and NBC in America. Alongside David Walliams they created and wrote the ‘After Ever After’ franchise, Sky’s popular anthology of feature-length fairytale sequels.

Over the last fifteen years the prolific trio have written on a wide range of award-winning narrative and entertainment shows including: the multi-award winning ‘Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway’ and ‘I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!’, BBC One's hit sitcom 'Big School', the Banff-nominated sketch show ‘Dawson Bros. Funtime’, the BAFTA-nominated ‘The Peter Serafinowicz Show’, the critically-acclaimed 'Urban Myths: The Trial of Joan Collins', the BAFTA-winning ‘That Mitchell and Webb Look’ plus celebrated sketch shows ‘Horrible Histories’, ‘Walliams & Friend’ and ‘The One Ronnie’ - their 'Blackberry Sketch' was the BBC's most-watched YouTube clip for several years. As gag writers they have worked on some of Britain’s favourite panel shows, written jokes for leading comedians and performed punch-up passes for several screenplays. They’ve regularly written for live events including The BRIT Awards, MTV Awards and the Royal Variety Performance. Their charity show work includes two Comic Relief ‘Pantomimes for Christmas’, ‘Star Wars’ for Children in Need, ‘Line of Duty’ and ‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em’ for Sport Relief and ‘Little Britain’, ‘Behind the Bond’ and ‘Simon Cowell’s Wedding’ for Red Nose Day. They have lectured in sketch writing at the National Film & Television School and currently mentor under-represented new writers as part of Andy Riley’s scheme.
