Clive Coleman is a trained barrister, broadcaster and one of the country's top comedy writers.

Clive has the unique ability to write and deliver hilarious material on just about any subject. His years in court, working to a brief, combined with his skill in writing topical comedy to tight deadlines for some of the country's best known television and radio comedy shows, allow Clive to specifically tailor his material to the needs of individual companies or organisations.

For the past ten years, Clive has regularly performed on radio with credits including co-writing and performing in Radio 4's Control Group 6 (nominated for the 1996 Writer's Guild Award for Best Radio Comedy), Radio Five Live's The Game's Up with Alistair McGowan; and You Cannot Be Serious with Kevin Day.

Clive has delivered after dinner speeches to an array of UK based and multi-national companies, trade and professional bodies. As a conference host and link presenter, he has hosted numerous awards ceremonies where his combination of performing and writing skills have enabled him to write and deliver tailored 'industry specific' links that keep the pace up and the focus sharp and witty. Clive has co-hosted events and awards ceremonies with celebrities including Joanna Lumley and Graham Norton, as well as writing the scripts for awards ceremonies hosted by the likes of Jonathan Ross.

For nine years, Clive was Senior and then Principal Lecturer at the Inns of Court School of Law, where he helped pioneer 'skills training' for barristers. He has lectured widely and written on advocacy, communication and the art of persuasion. This experience has enabled Clive to successfully apply a variety of inter-active educational methods, including the training techniques of the courtroom, to meeting the demands of selling, motivation and persuasion in business.
