Declan Fay

Hi, I’m Declan Fay, a Melbourne-based comedy writer, director, producer and script editor with a love for shaping sharp characters and clever premises for TV, film and online media. Over the years I’ve mentored rising creators, led writers’ rooms, and collaborated on award-winning projects across ABC, SBS, Comedy Central, Netflix, Melbourne Comedy Festival, and other streaming platforms.

I have worked with many comedians such as Ronny Chieng, Rebel Wilson, Janelle James, Felicity Ward and others. I co-created the comedy series Ronny Chieng: International Student, and worked on the pilot of the adult swim animation, Koala Man. I also wrote two seasons of the kids animation Smashers (although it was paid for by a toy company so I feel a bit dirty admitting that)
