About The Author

Christian Talbot

Christian struggles to adequately explain what he does. He’s from Dublin but somehow ended up living in Northern Ireland with his wife, Gayle, and dog, Sam.

In the past, at various times, he’s been an academic (Social Anthropology), the director of an IT/Finance company, and a stand-up comedian. He’s performed six solo stand-up shows, two one-man plays, and two sketch shows (with former comedy partner Rosie Holt) at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Christian spends most of his time writing The Life of Sharks, maintaining its social media presence, and screen printing t-shirts, mugs, etc. for customers of their online store. The rest of the time he spends making guitars and wishing Aaron Sorkin would write another great TV series.
