ABOUT US 〰️
Oh, Hello. We're Amy Stephenson and Shane Langan and we've been writing together since 2005. We cut our teeth on the Irish and UK comedy circuits, as part of the Dublin comedy group Diet of Worms, writing and performing many successful comedic plays, sketch shows and web series. In 2014 we turned 'Taste of Home', our award-winning web series about an eccentric Dublin family, into the BBC sitcom 'The Walshes'.
Since then, we've struck out as a writing team, working on many children’s television programmes, including Dorg Van Dango (Nickelodeon), Jessy and Nessy (Amazon), Silly Sundays (Cartoonito) and as Head Writers on the Nickelodeon series Becca’s Bunch.
We're married to each other (see wedding photo inset, as proof) and live in Dublin, Ireland.

“Amy and Shane are incredible to work with. They bring a high level of humour, enthusiasm and professionalism to every project they take on. They're natural collaborators with massive experience and an undeniable love for their craft. We look forward to working with them again very soon!”
AIDAN O’DONOVAN
CO-FOUNDER / CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF TURNIP + DUCK
“A testimonial to how WONDERFUL you are to collaborate with... and how each meeting is JOY-FILLED and your written materials SO clever and laugh-out-loud funny, and in the authentic voice and play of real kids... so that MORE people can work with you, making it impossible to book for my projects?!? Absolutely not. I will not expound upon your flexibility in absorbing notes, meeting deadlines and doing amazing pitches for buyers. Nope. You can’t make me. I want to keep you as my super-secret, go-to Irish writing duo.”

“I was lucky enough to work with Amy and Shane on my TV series SHOWKIDS, and I can’t recommend them highly enough. As well as being wonderful people, they are brilliant to work with - so funny, warm and talented, with a wealth of experience and imagination. I couldn’t have done it without them!”
