Armando Iannucci was born in Glasgow in 1963. He began making satirical comedy programmes for the BBC in the early 1990s, producing On the Hour and co-creating The Day Today. He was central to the success of Alan Partridge with Steve Coogan. Other Iannucci creations include The Thick of It, Veep and The Death of Stalin. Now he has co-adapted Dr Strangelove for the stage featuring Coogan in multiple roles – it runs at the Noël Coward theatre from 8 October to 25 January. Iannucci lives in Hertfordshire with his wife, Rachel Jones, with whom he has three children.
