Gareth Lyons is an Irish Screenwriter splitting his time between Cork and London.  He writes drama. He writes comedy. Whatever he writes though has to have some madness.
Starting out in animation, he wrote and directed the Screen Ireland funded short film 'PORK' about an omniscient pig narrating the doomed relationship between the man who killed them and the woman who served them as an in-flight meal. It played at festivals world wide, notably the BFI London Film Festival.
His dark comedy drama script ‘We Prosper’ about a small town councillor who decides to build a pyramid to himself following the visitation of three Egyptian Gods was in the top 9% of all eligible scripts received for BBC Open Call 2024.

He was part of the BBC Voices scheme in 2025 and is currently seeking representation.
