Neil Humpheys
Brought up in Dagenham, London, England, Humphreys migrated to Singapore in 1996, left for Australia in 2006 and returned to Singapore in 2011. He worked as a humour columnist, first at TODAY and then The Straits Times and The New Paper. Humphreys continues to write for newspapers, magazines and websites in Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, Australia, and the UK. His humour, football and lifestyle columns have appeared in FourFourTwo, Esquire, The New Paper, The Age, The Straits Times and TODAY. He is now a radio host for Money FM 89.3 and hosts an award-winning football podcast.
By 2001, he was one of the country’s best-selling authors. His first book, Notes from an even Smaller Island, became an immediate best-seller and travelled across Southeast Asia, Australia and Britain. The book appeared on the Singapore best-seller list for over four years. BBC World said it was ‘a warts and all view of the city-state and celebrates many of the things most often criticised’. In 2003, his second book, Scribbles from the Same Island, a compilation of his popular humour columns in WEEKEND TODAY, was launched in Singapore and Malaysia and also became an immediate best-seller. In 2006, Final Notes from a Great Island: A Farewell Tour of Singapore completed the trilogy. The book went straight to No.1 and stayed there for a few months. Humphreys has since written 32 books.
Humphreys is currently working on an Abbie Rose and the Magic Suitcase TV series and his Inspector Low crime novels are also being developed for TV.
