​

Since 2012, I have worked as a composer and Musical Director, specialising in devised work, live score (solo or with a chamber band) as well as comedy songs.

 

During my acting training (2014-17) I was fortunate enough to learn from and work with the inimitable Colin Sell (I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue - BBC R4). The experience I had working with Colin since led to working as a regular MD/songwriter for the long-running satirical sketch comedy show NewsRevue (2019-2024), collaborating with Aardman's Ben Whitehead on The Classic Tour, as well as being in-house composer for award-winning improv comedy troupe, The Noise Next Door (BBC One, BBC Three, ITV, Britain's Got Talent, BBC R4). 

 

In addition to my live work, I am fully equipped with a home studio (London, UK), from which I have composed and recorded original score for many theatre and radio projects.

​

I specialise in a nostalgic, comedic, quirky style, reminiscent of television, radio and gaming score of the 80s/90s, largely created on a vintage synthesizer and other classic electronic instruments. Current projects include MDing The Highwayman (UK Tour), composing incidental music for Teechers (UK Tour), both with regular collaborator, The John Godber Company, as well as working with Tiwai Muza on a new rock musical he is developing.

​

"Dylan Allcock  returns for a third Pock winter season, this time as musical director, contributing instantly catchy original songs and a slew of deer-orientated Christmas favourites, not least Chuck Berry’s evergreen Run Rudolph Run."
