VP are thrilled to welcome writer, stand-up comic and actor, Ian Billings to our family. He is a multi-award winning writer of books, plays, radio plays and pantomimes; a reformed juggler, actor, lecturer and general dabbler in many areas.

So far he has performed in UK, Australia, Cyprus, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Thailand, Jordan, Oman, Vietnam, UAE, Uganda and Kenya. Ian’s first title for VP was the brilliant, ‘BILLY PLONKA AND THE GROT LABORATORY’ , nominated for the 2022 CHILDREN’S BIG BOOK PRIZE . 2023 will see the release of Ian’s ‘MOBY DUCK’ and ‘THE FBG’. Ian was once described by an audience member as “The most imaginative adult I’ve ever met” and by one of his teachers as “Hopeless.”
