Author, Speaker, Screenwriter.
Writer for the page, the stage, and the screen.
Max Dickins is the author of Billy No Mates, which has been translated into multiple languages and is currently being adapted for television. On the page, his writing has been featured in the Observer, Sunday Times, Daily Mail, and GQ. On the stage, Max’s critically acclaimed play Man on the Moor has toured nationally. On the airwaves, his radio show on Absolute Radio was nominated for a Sony Award. While on screen, Dickins has appeared numerous times on BBC One’s Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, and has hobnobbed variously with Tyra Banks, Richard Branson and (less good) the candidates of The Apprentice. Oh, and once he accidentally got addicted to Groupon deals: this sad (if quite amusing) experience spawning his first book, My Groupon Adventure.
Max started his career as a radio presenter for Absolute Radio, where he was nominated for a prestigious Sony Radio Award. In 2011, he moved into stand-up comedy and spent 6 years working professionally on the circuit, performing thousands of gigs and three hour-long solo shows at the Edinburgh Fringe.
An in-demand speaker and host, he has MCed and given speeches at corporate events for brands including Esquire, Accenture, and PWC. He was also once presenter of Voom Room a magazine TV show around Virgin Media Business’ Voom Competition – think Dragon’s Den but with Sir Richard Branson!
