ⓘ About Trevor Wood

He has lived in Newcastle for more than two decades and considers himself to be an adopted Geordie, despite not being able to speak the language. After leaving the Royal Navy, he retrained as a journalist, doing an NCTJ Journalism course in Darlington. The class was made up of young post-university graduates so Ed Waugh, the other older trainee, and Trevor were the only ones commuting from the Newcastle area so they began driving together and talked quite a bit about their interest in comedy writing. Years later, after getting bored with journalism, they decided to give it a go. After just five months of sitting down together the first time, “Good to Firm”, their debut play, premiered at the Customs House theater in South Shields.
