My name is Broderick Chow.
I am (variously) a lecturer, researcher, performer, stand-up comic, writer, actor, performer, installation artist, and song-and-dance man. I teach theatre studies at Brunel University, West London, and my research concerns a popular performance as a scene of political intervention.
In 2010, I became the first (but not the last!) doctoral graduate of the Central School of Speech & Drama, University of London, with my thesis: How to do things with jokes: relocating the political dimension of performance comedy. I am especially interested in exploring new methods of ‘training to be an artist’ and so have undertaken and continues to train in parkour and professional wrestling.
