Me

I guess we'll call them 'gremlins.' They're the sort of gremlins that there's still quite a lot of stigma about, and fellas still aren't too keen to talk about them.

I've had gremlins for as long as I can remember, but creativity helps me massively. What about you?

I write plays (sometimes quite serious ones) and endless comedy sketches. I peddle my wares at carterbloke.com and I'm dead proud of everything you'll find there.

My Fundraiser

Since 2020 I've written a show called Bloke Box (also known as 'Nige Dials In'). It started as a Covid lockdown project for BBC Radio Nottingham, designed to bring a smile to others in extraordinary times.

It's about a guy called Nige who finds himself going round the twist in a man cave as he, and the nation, deals with isolation in a world dramatically changed.

The increasingly frantic outpourings of my alter-ego seemed to resonate with a lot of people. Nige got himself regular airtime and a social media following.

Nige doesn't do nearly as much stuff these days, mainly because he's allowed back out now, but he still loves a Christmas special and a sing-song.

Anyway. Point is, he's back with something brand new to entertain you in December.

Making the show has helped me keep those gremlins in their box, and I've had a ball putting it all together.

Your Bit
