Martin Hammond Biography

Martin Hammond trained in photography at the University of the Arts London, before moving over to TV, where he now works as a Producer. He is currently working on the Channel 4 comedy series Rude Tube at October Films, where he also regularly contributes to the creative development of future productions.

Now almost 30 and still not a proper grown up, Martin is hoping to continue making other people laugh with his first spoof-letter book, Ask a Silly Question.
