Impatient was founded in 2013 by Mark Watson and Lianne Coop, and the name reflects their desire to produce high-quality work without waiting so long that we die before it eventually comes to fruition. Impatient aims to be prolific, creative and adventurous in an industry which calls out for those qualities but we feel frequently fails to find them.

Impatient is passionate about its projects and will go to all possible lengths to make other people passionate about them, but it has never yet received a restraining order from a commissioner.

Impatient have been successfully producing critically-acclaimed comedy as an Indie for the last 5 years – we have produced various original scripted comedy series for BBC Radio 4, including multiple series of Mark's own long-running show Mark Watson Talks A Bit About Life, Elephant In The Room with Sarah Millican, Passport Paddy with Zoe Lyons recorded on location in Ireland, Angela Barnes' You Can't Take It With You, How To Love Your Fat with Sofie Hagen, The Price of Happiness with Kate Fox, and Coaches - a sitcom pilot starring Sara Pascoe and Paapa Esseidu. This is in addition to productions in the podcast world: The Andy Field Experience (Radio 1 Kench), Mark Watson's Comedy Marathon - a 13-part original podcast series for Audible with over 40 contributors, WTB with Jen Brister, released independently on Acast. There are further podcast commissions with Audible and independent developments for Acast in production.

Impatient's team is headed by Lianne Coop, who boasts 15 years experience of radio production (in-house BBC Radio Comedy for 10 years) – with expertise both in staging live recordings and editing. Mark has been a successful stand-up and writer for even longer, and exec producers and script edits across Impatient projects. They are aided by a strong and experienced squad of live and audio producers including Siren Turner and production assistants Claire McCluskey and Joe Hollingworth.
