Richard Thomas is a musician, writer & comedy actor. He is best known for composing & scoring the award-winning Jerry Springer - The Opera with Stewart Lee. Thomas collected the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Score in 2004. Richard Thomass comedy career began in 1987, doing a musical act on keyboards. In 2000, he wrote & performed a one-act opera called Tourette’s Diva with four actors, which aired at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Thomas had the idea for an opera based on Jerry Springer at this time & wrote it over the next two years, chiefly in workshops at Battersea Arts Centre. Thomas would offer a Beer for an Idea, where any audience members submitting a good idea would be rewarded with a can of Fosters. After a number of small scale performances of the first act, which was in much the same shape as it remains today, the second act was vague & unformed. Thomas brought his friend Stewart Lee in to assist with the writing. Six months later, the opera was in a far more recognisable state & was snapped up by the National Theatre.
