Career

In 2009, he co-founded ManMoth Productions, a theatre production group, with Patrick Baker. In 2012, Jordan debuted his first solo production, a science fiction comedy play called 'Dead Static', about two strangers who have an hour to live in deep space. The production played to sold-out audiences and was well received. In 2013, Jordan debuted 'Pilgrim Shadow' at the Tristan Bates Theatre, sequel to Dead Static. A sequel to 'Pilgrim Shadow', called 'King Chaos', debuted in 2015, completing The Future Boys Trilogy.

In 2013, Jordan co-founded a new theatre production group, Bad Bat Productions, with Ellen Gallagher. Bad Bat's first theatre production was Jordan's 'The Probleming', a horror comedy that debuted as part of the 2014 Camden Fringe Festival. Jordan made his stage debut as a performer in Bad Bat's sketch show Global Mega Incorporated, which he also directed.

Jordan holds a BA in Creative & Media Writing, and an MA in Creative Writing within Science Fiction & Fantasy, both from Middlesex University. His humorous fantasy short story 'The Good Death Guide' won a 2014 Watty Award, presented by online writing community Wattpad. He has also contributed short stories to Paul Finch's Terror Tales series, appearing in an anthology that was nominated for a British Fantasy award in 2015.

In 2016, he co-produced Kim Newman and Sean Hogan's horror play 'The Ghost Train Doesn't Stop Here Anymore'. He also co-hosted the Film Wars podcast, an entertainment podcast about films, with Gareth Alexander. In 2017, he successfully crowd-funded via Kickstarter the live recording and digital distribution of an audio sitcom, 'The Future Boys', based on the eponymous heroes from The Future Boys Trilogy.
