Lee Crompton writes plays, scripts, sitcoms, and whatever else won't leave him alone. He has an unfortunate habit of surviving things, including cancer during lockdown, which was poor scheduling on everyone's part.
His work has picked up recognition at festivals across three continents, including The Last Wrights (Runner-Up, Scriptwriters & Co International Festival 2026), Parallel Lines (Official Selection, Tokyo Film & Screenplay Awards 2025) and Game of Cones (Best Comedy, HB Film Festival 2023). His debut stage play, Mind Matters, will be staged in Dorset and Glasgow in 2026.
Following his terminal diagnosis, Lee launched Mind Cake, a comedy wellbeing podcast that has built an international audience across the UK, US and Australia, with guests including Alastair Campbell, Jonathan Agnew and Shaparak Khorsandi.
Originally a novelist and children's author, Lee studied screenwriting at Edinburgh University, took part in a Writers' Room with Barbara Machin (Waking the Dead) at The MET Film School, and completed John Yorke's Script Editing and Development course. He has also written feature screenplays and directed award-winning short films, including one of the shorts in the record-breaking anthology film THE IMPACT (London, 2022).
He writes because it's cheaper than therapy and marginally more productive.
He has not won a BAFTA. This was a rumour started by his Mum to try and impress her friends.
