Nico Tatarowicz (born 23 April 1974) is a British actor and writer, known for The Armstrong & Miller Show (2007), Very Important People (2012), Crackanory (2013) and Murder in Successville (2015-2017).
Career
Nico Tatarowicz has written and co-written comedy, mainly for TV, since around 2005. Formerly writing alongside David-Cadji-Newby the pair's material made its debut on Channel 5's relationship sketch-show Swinging. This led to a commission to write for BBC 1's The Armstrong & Miller Show, which they contributed to over 3 series.
Having become regular sketch-show contributors, the pair began working on their own projects and Tatarowicz eventually switched to writing material that he could perform himself as well as for other people. His self-penned E4 Funny Cut The Viewing was broadcast in August 2008 to critical acclaim. He has since appeared as a character performer in several productions including Murder In Successville as 'Sid Lowecroft', Crackanory, The Warm-Up Guy, and Morgana Robinson's Very Important People (as Liam Gallagher). In 2012 Tatarowicz also pitched and shot a low-budget mini-pilot for a spoof rock-doc about The Stone Roses, which though never picked up, was put online where it became a cult viral hit.
In 2009 Tatarowicz provided the opening Voice-Over for the comeback series of Shooting Stars, and did some character voices on some of the same series sketches.
His written work includes several stories written over 4 series of TV Station Dave Crackanory, with his stories read by Jack Dee, Harry Enfield, Vic Reeves, Emilia Fox, Carrie Fisher, Paul Whitehouse and a double-length story read by Sheridan Smith.
in 2016 Tatarowicz wrote a one-off special for BBC2 show Morgana Robinson's The Agency, set around Robinson's take on Natalie Cassidy going through a day from hell.
In 2017 Nico co-wrote ITV2 espionage comedy Action Team with Tom Davis and James De Frond. The series was broadcast in 2018.[1]
Nico is also a keen songwriter and has also contributed music to various productions including spoof songs for Liam Gallagher and Adele on Very Important People and 2014 Cinema release Benny & Jolene.[2] In 2017 Nico contributed a tongue-in-cheek fictional Britpop hit to the indie-film Songbird directed by Jamie Adams.
