Indy Selvarajah
Indy Selvarajah is a writer, performer and artist.
He has shown work at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York, Serpentine, Barbican and Tate galleries and co-created a digital theatre production with the actor Willem Dafoe and The Wooster Group.
Indy created, wrote and starred in the Channel 4 comedy show ‘Aint It Funny Being Coloured’. He wrote and voiced the animation ‘The Watering Hole’ for the BBC and ‘Ali, The Awfully Friendly Muslim’, produced by Dazed and Confused.
He is currently working on a new satirical hidden camera show for the BBC and a series of musical comedy shorts with Guy Berryman from Coldplay.
Indy was selected as a Broadcast Hotshot for comedy writing in 2008 and on the Courvoisier Future100 in 2009. He has also won an Obie Off Broadway Award in 2006.
‘Indy’s work is timely, valid, interesting and very funny. Here is someone who has given considerable thought to what he does and is creating material that is new territory – unlike anything else I’m seeing at the moment in the UK.’
Jeremy Dyson (creator / writer of League of Gentlemen)
‘He’s a very fresh voice, both in the world of comedy and the world of social issues. He has the ability to talk about issues of identity without it becoming polemic, and that runs through all his writing.’
Ben Caudell (Zeppotron)
