About Jack

I'm Jack Simmonds, from Norwich. Nobody was going to hand me a sitcom, so I made one. I wrote The Holiday Camp, filmed it, and play six of the people in it, from an owner sleeping in his office to an 80s comic who thinks this is his comeback. Now I'm looking for a producer to help turn it into a series.
