Brigitte Downey

From the fields of Limerick to the lights of London - via Vienna, Manhattan, Montmartre, Palermo, Prague, Brussels, Berlin - some of the places I've worked, loved and laughed in. The day jobs are too numerous to mention.

The highbrow stuff:

• Graduate of Vienna University, fluent in German, French & Italian.

• EU interpreter in Brussels

• UN radio journalist in New York

• Tourist guide in Munich

• BBC TV: researcher/producer. Scriptwriter

• City of London Guide

The lowbrow:

• Paris - selling foie gras dressed up as an Alsatian in a railway station

• Vienna - artists' model

• London - playing a medieval sex crazed nun for a serious documentary

But through the highs and lows the one constant was my writing: novels, feature scripts, sitcoms, non fiction, articles - and always, always with a dollop of humour. Enjoy!!
