Since graduating with diploma from Redroofs School of Performing Arts in the late 1990’s, Paul has worked as an actor up and down the country. These days he tends not to do so much, as he prefers to concentrate on his writing, running Cranked Anvil, and spending time at home in Northumberland with his family. However, he can still occasionally be found pratting about on stage – either for fun or for money!
What the press and reviewers said…
The star of the night, Paul Dunn… Brilliant comic timing and deserved the standing ovation.

…his crippled and distant father, played with fine nuance by Paul Dunn.

Dunn’s Dame Trott ensured that the rafters rocked with jokes and innuendos … an absolute joy.

Dunn truly embodies the character. He makes the emotional transitions seamless and carries the audience along with him.
