Richard Melvin: Director, Producer & Founder of Dabster Productions

EDINBURGH:   Richard started his career in broadcasting as a volunteer at Radio Forth during the Edinburgh Fringe in 2001. He quickly moved on to the achingly trendy Beat 106 before transferring to BBC Radio Scotland to produce Fred MacAulay’s morning show.He founded Dabster Productions in 2006 and has since worked with some of the biggest names in the UK entertainment industry. He recently managed to keep Suggs from Madness out of jail, he thought (for over an hour) that he’d killed Bobby Davro and he got a gun held to his head on a night out with the lead singer from Les Bof.When he’s not being the most dangerous man on the planet, he nurtures and develops comedy talent from all over the country and has helped a wealth of brand-new comedians find their voice.As you might be able to tell from this website… he’s also devised, written, produced, and directed comedy shows for radio, TV, and the stage and has had two #1 hit singles.About The Good, The Bad, The Unexpected stay tuned for April 4th on BBC Scotland.Contact Richard at: [email protected] In today's episode:How does Carrie stick her foot in her mouth straight out of the gate?Raining cats & dogsEdinburgh vs. Glasgow vs. Aberdeen The military industrial complex and it's grey area warsRichard's enlightening experience in AustraliaRichard's advocacy of comedians & where to hear comicsAdventure, Travel & Productive Bleisure: The Quest Express BlogBring your artistic vision to life in an immersive experience: Learn more about events, trips & VIP DaysIntroducing the First Premium, Come to You, Decentralized Dinner Society for Discerning Travelers: The Dinner Story.   Visit us and inquire here: The Dinner StoryThe podcast may be over, but our curiosity and hunger for inspiring people and experiences will never end.
