Joyce Bryant

Joyce Bryant is a British writer and creator of radio comedy. Higher: The Complete Series 1-4 is her BBC Radio comedy series set in the world of higher education, exploring the absurdities, politics, egos and dysfunction of university life. The series brings a sharp, satirical eye to the world of academia, where the stakes are low but the battles are fierce. Bryant's comedy is character-driven and observationally sharp, drawing on the particular brand of madness that flourishes in educational institutions. The series has been praised for its witty scripts and the way it finds humour in the gap between academic ideals and institutional reality. Available as an audiobook and audio production, Higher offers entertaining listening for fans of BBC radio comedy, academic satire and anyone who has ever worked in an institution where meetings about meetings are considered productive activity.
