Stuart Wiggin
Designer, Writer/Director and Host
Beijing, ChinaCurrently I split my time between several work ventures. I am the writer/director of China's first weekly English comedy sketch show. I am responsible for script, foley, graphic design, title credits and also edit segments of the show. The show is broadcast on several Chinese platforms including Youku and Tudou with viewers ranging from 100,000 to 500,000 per week. I also write a comedy panel show for Netease Youdao, China's biggest dictionary company.
Alongside this, I am also Editor-in-chief and designer of MESSENGER magazine, a current affairs magazine with a focus on China published by CRI, one of the three big state media companies in China.
I also work occasionally on a freelance basis for PR firms in China, providing general design and copywriting for them and their clients.
