Richard Hunter - Comedy

Richard will probably tell you that he’s a man of simple tastes; someone who dislikes the nerve twisting squeak of polystyrene, loves all-night karaoke bars and maintains a healthy fear of cold rice pudding (or hot for that matter) - you know, the usual stuff.

But his work is far from simple. In his performance-driven comedy, Richard taps into the quirks and subtleties of human behaviour, unlocking a weird and wonderful viewpoint on modern Britain and beyond. He gained recognition for his short films "Evil's Evil Cousin" (2015), "Skeletons" (2019), "Lovely Creature" (2022) - and then went on to receive wider acclaim for his debut feature film "FOUL EVIL DEEDS" (2024) which premiered in competition at the 2024 Locarno Film Festival. The film then went on to be 'longlisted' in two categories at the British Independent Film Awards (including best British Independent Feature Film) and in November was nominated for the Raindance Maverick Award at the 2025 BIFAs. Hunter's latest film "Thanks To Meet You!" (2025) had it's world premiere at the 50th Toronto International Film Festival and is currently touring the film festival circuit.
