Lighting Designer - Tour Manager - Director

Featured Project

Gerry & Sewell

In early 2026, I had the pleasure of serving as the LX Programmer for Lighting Designer Drummond Orr on the West End transfer of Gerry & Sewell. Produced by Eastlake Productions, the hit show made its highly anticipated London run at the historic Aldwych Theatre.

Featured Project

Carl Hutchinson - That's The Show

I am honoured to collaborate regularly with comedian Carl Hutchinson, serving as the Lighting Designer for his digital specials as well as his brand-new live show, Fine Whine. Designing for stand-up comedy requires a clean, dynamic visual style that complements the performance, and it is a privilege to bring these productions to life for both digital screens and live theatre audiences.

What People Say About Me

I’ve used Gary twice now for my comedy special records and he’s knocked it out of the park for me on both occasions. All I need to do is give Gary a very small nudge in the direction that I’m thinking (style, effects etc) and he does the rest. I’ve been blown away both times now to the point I acidly encourage other comedians to use him and would 100% recommend him if you’re thinking of hiring him. He was also available for various phone calls along the way to assist me in the preparation of the records. Thank you Gary! ​

Carl Hutchinson

Comedian

Gary arrived with his own ideas about the lighting design needed for the Daisy Donald show tour, which was brilliant, but he also took time to become more familiar with the show and worked with the director to make some tweaks to perfect it. His design was spot on and his professionalism was second to none.

Daisy Donald - UK Tour

We were so privileged to have Gary do our lighting design & operation for Six: Teen Edition. The finished design surpassed all expectations; it really made the whole production extra special. Six is such a tech heavy show and the lighting was a massive part of the production; we had amazing comments from audience members and from cast members about how amazing it was to perform with such excellent lighting. We can’t thank Gary enough for his expertise and hard work on our production.
