ABOUT
Northern Imposters Productions makes comedy that changes behaviour.
Founded by Larry Budd and Paul Dunphy – award-winning comedy writers and performers whose credits include Have I Got News For You (BBC One), Unsafe Space (BBC Radio 4), and a BFI National Archive selection – it started as a comedy production company and became something nobody else does: making corporate training that's actually funny. Not "funny for training" funny. Actually funny.
Larry and Paul are probably best known for their viral work – fake political charity videos, recruitment adverts, and the #RealDailyBriefing series – which has clocked over 50 million views across platforms and been featured on BBC One, Al Jazeera, Nippon TV, BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio 4. Their spoof Government briefings have been selected for permanent preservation in the BFI national archive.
That's the work that got people's attention. The corporate training is what kept them interested.
TRAINING
Most corporate training gets ignored. People click through it as fast as possible, forget it within the week, and tick a box they shouldn't have ticked.
Northern Imposters makes training that doesn't get ignored. We write genuinely funny, broadcast-quality films – built around your culture, your compliance requirements, and the specific behaviour you need to change. The comedy isn't decorative. It's what makes the content stick.
Proofpoint – one of the world's leading cybersecurity companies – commissioned us to add to their security awareness training with something their clients would love. It worked so well that they renewed again and again.
"They consistently deliver high-quality, behaviour-changing content with sharp scripting and top-tier production values." – Proofpoint (USA)
