On stage, Demetriou also perfected characters’ physical quirks: “All the tics, tricks and comedic devices I use in my performance on TV, I generated on stage.  Emotional behaviour juxtaposed with masculine bravado, done well, is a treat.” “Stath is pure friction because he’s a clash of cultures – a wide boy who desperately wants to be a dad and is insanely loving. He tries to avoid cliches, looking to portray interesting “friction” instead.  The experience honed his character creation: “I start with a trait that’s difficult, but endearing, that I’ve seen enough times that people watching think: ‘I’ve met that guy’.” (With people-watching so important to his work, Demetriou admits that the pandemic has made writing series three of Stath challenging.)ĭemetriou performing on stage.

Many involved characters failing at something – a trademark of Stath, who serially fails to let out any flats. Ellie White and Jamie Demetriou with the Bristol Revunions.
