Richard Wright

Biography

My name is Richard Wright and I am writer and director. I have 13 years experience of writing, directing and performing solo stand up shows at festivals all around the UK, including 10 years at the Edinburgh Fringe. I have a degree in film and have written and directed short films. In 2026 I took my first play called "Forgotten" to the Edinburgh Fringe where it played to sold out crowds and received entirely positive reviews from critics and audiences alike. "Grief and laughter live next door to each other, and Wright understands this instinctively" Fringe Review (https://fringereview.co.uk/review/edinburgh-fringe/2026/forgotten/) "Wright’s skilled writing leaves room for humour and hope" The Student News (https://thestudentnews.co.uk/2026/08/15/fringe-2026-forgotten/)
