Nick Pettigrew was an Anti-Social Behaviour Officer for over a decade. From bothersome neighbours with a fondness for crack cocaine and loud dance music to those being racially abused every day, Nick's job involved keeping the community happy. Or at least away from each other's throats.

He has a background in comedy and was a standup comedian for several years, taking two successful shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. His comedy writing has been published by Shortlist and The Telegraph. He was a regular writer for The Daily Mash for over eight years.
