John-Paul Flintoff is a writer

I'm a journalist, mostly. I write for The Sunday Times, the Financial Times, the Daily Telegraph and the Guardian, and other leading English-language papers and magazines.

People I admire who have been kind about my writing include the documentary maker Michael Moore, the film and theatre director Richard Eyre and the late Nobel-winner Harold Pinter, who commented: “Very good. Very funny… In fact, it made me laugh.”

I'm also a film maker, broadcaster and public speaker. In fact, that's me on the soap box.

I have also worked as bin man, executive PA, scuba diver, poet, taxi driver, tailor, gardener, ice-cream salesman, hairdresser, assistant undertaker, bit-part player in pantomime, waiter, illustrator, high-wire window cleaner, photographer, very amateur boxer, karaoke singer, rat catcher, irregular blogger and probably much more.

I live in London.
