ACTOR

Stage

He has appeared in plays on stage, including in 2014 Castruccio, a drag queen, in an all male version of 'The Duchess of Malfi' set in the nineteen fifties and called 'Cover her face'. Webster did not have a drag queen in mind when he wrote the play but he’s not around to complain. In 2015 he played Binkie, a rather childlike poet, in a new black comedy called `A rather English murder'.

 

Film

He has appeared in several shorts based on his cabaret characters. 'Just One More Night' in 2005 was Nigel's first screen appearance. He played an actress and incidental characters. In `Just One More Bite', 2007, he played a theatrical Transylvanian vampire. 'The Revelation of Reverend Jones', about a vicar, was made in 2008. All three shorts have received many festival awards and nominations.

He continues to act in short films for others and has played roles in two feature films, receiving a best supporting actor nomination in 2010 for his part in 'The Drummond Will'. He has been in a number of music videos including the extra special ‘Took them away’ by Dear Reader.
