JONATHAN KYDD Hi there. I’m an actor. But I also voice stuff and make films and videos and write songs . Which I then perform (in!). I’ve written three musicals and a variety of hour long shows featuring comedy bands (which I’ve been in) and a number of video blogs,
mostly about football. I’ve also made two comedy short films and a lot of videos. I podcast about football as well. This site attempts to reflect all these diverse things I get up to that are still all entertainment based!
