Tim Fountain

The show subsequently won a Herald Angel award for Bette Bourne at the Edinburgh Festival and toured across America, Australia and the UK.

During the 90-minute show, Fountain would discuss various sex topics, in person and online, and tackle issues of homophobia and the perceived immorality of promiscuity.

After Gaydar later sent him a cease and desist letter, Fountain asked the audience to choose somebody from a list of online volunteers or nominate themselves.

Fountain adapted the Oscar-winning movie Midnight Cowboy for the stage starring Con O Neil and Charles Aitken.

Fountain's comedy about sex tourism in Egypt during Arab Spring, Queen of the Nile, opened at Hull Truck Theatre in 2013.

It made front-page news in the Times newspaper when Fountain attacked (in print) the militant left wing protestors blocking the audience from entering a show performed by Israeli students.

In the same year he was also a principal writer on the animated television sitcom version of Oscar-winning Bob and Margaret which was broadcast on Channel Four in the UK and Comedy Central in the USA.

He is a playwriting teacher and has tutored for many organisations including the Central School of Speech and Drama, The Arvon Foundation MIT and Dartmouth College in the USA.
