Lyons
Gina is a producer in both entertainment and scripted comedy
Gina Lyons is a BAFTA Cymru winning producer, who has worked across comedy entertainment and scripted comedy for 18 years. Gina is one of the 20 producers selected from a long list for the BAFTA Elevate Producer's programme 2022. She is also currently one of 40 selected for the WFTV four nations mentoring scheme, has produced several award winning short films and was a Hospital Club H100 winner in 2015. Gina produced both pilots for the critically acclaimed ‘In My Skin’ (BBC3) and Dreaming Whilst Black for Big Deal Films (BBC3).
Nerys Evans, head of comedy at Expectation Entertainment, said: ‘Gina has learnt much coming through live comedy and entertainment TV. It is this grassroots route that has given her a sharp eye in spotting talent and a propensity for backing surprising and diverse stories… I know she has a very bright future ahead of her.’
Gina’s career in television began when she was the winning contestant of Channel 4’s Get Me The Producer in 2007. This led to a Development Producer job at Graham Norton’s SO TV where she worked for five years. After deciding to go freelance, Gina produced the second series of I’m Spazticus for Channel 4.
Gina then went on to develop, pitch and produce several comedy entertainment programmes including The Totally Senseless Gameshow for BBC3, Before The Morning After for NBC new comedy Channel Seeso and Safeword for ITV2. Gina also helped create The Kaning Live with Russell Kane, which was the first show of its kind to air on Facebook and attracted 1.5m viewers.
After being headhunted by Emma Scott at Beano Studios, Gina attracted well known talent such as Russell Kane, Anna Morris, Tom Bell and Rachel Pariss and produced a number of sketches for them, which led to the Network winning the award for Best Children’s Digital Content at the Broadcast Awards in 2018.
Moving into Scripted programming in 2017, Gina produced the multi nominated short film Not Sophie’s Choice starring Catherine Tate and Alex Macqueen and Elderflower starring Tom Rosenthal, Lou Sanders and Sheila Reid which became Vimeo’s Short of the Week.
A working class girl who had lunch vouchers at school, Gina is passionate about working with story tellers from diverse backgrounds.
