Stephen Merchant: Work in Progress

A rare opportunity to see Stephen Merchant developing his new stand up act in an intimate setting. 

Stephen Merchant is a multi-award-winning actor, comedian, writer, director and producer, and one of the most versatile talents in TV and film. Merchant can currently be seen in Season 3 of The Outlaws, the hit BBC One/Amazon Studios comedy-drama series that he co-created, co-produced and stars in. Other acting credits include the Oscar-nominated war satire Jojo Rabbit, the international blockbuster movie Logan, crime thriller The Girl in the Spider’s Web, and BBC’s Four Lives, for which he received a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the RTS Awards for his chilling portrayal of the infamous serial killer Stephen Port. 

Merchant wrote and directed MGM/Film 4’s Fighting With My Family, a movie he co-produced with Dwayne Johnson, based on the true story of WWE Superstar Paige and her family of professional wrestlers. Prior to that he was star, co-creator, co-writer and director of HBO’s Hello Ladies, a sitcom based on his live stand-up show of the same name. The series ended with a feature-length HBO special and received two nominations at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Merchant first shot to prominence as co-creator of BBC’s The Office and Extras, both of which were critically acclaimed, earning multiple awards, including three BAFTA Awards, two British Comedy Awards, two Golden Globe Awards, a Primetime Emmy Award, and a Peabody Award.
