Biography

David McGillivray's professional trajectory has been marked by a diverse array of creative pursuits, commencing with a dual role as a film critic and occasional actor, thus laying the groundwork for a lifelong exploration of the world of entertainment.

Pete Walker, a renowned director, marked the beginning of McGillivray's screenwriting career by entrusting him with the responsibility of crafting compelling screenplays.

Despite the creative efforts of this individual, the cinematic adaptations of his written screenplays ultimately fell short of achieving substantial box office triumphs, resulting in a widespread critical reception that was overwhelmingly negative in tone.

Despite the initial setback, McGillivray persisted in his creative endeavors, redirecting his attention towards the world of theatre, where he began to co-author a series of comedic plays, specifically lowbrow farces, for his own theatrical company, a venture that showcased his versatility and ability to adapt to new challenges.

During the course of his life, he had the unique opportunity to intersect with the burgeoning professional trajectory of Julian Clary, a talented individual who was just starting to make a name for himself as a stand-up comedian, marking a pivotal moment in their respective careers.

Since the inception of their creative partnership, McGillivray has maintained a consistent collaborative relationship with Clary, actively engaging in the co-authorship of original material, a partnership that has endured for an extended period of time and remains an ongoing endeavor to this very day.
