The Rise Of the Butterfly, By Kennedy - written by Natalie Wright.

On April 30th 1970, a young boy was born in Guys Hospital London. Ken Drysdale was the only boy of 3 children. His colourful adolescence, his love of entertainment, making and losing money, his wife and his children have shaped him into the man he is today and this is a story taking you through the journey of a top underground and talented producer in the British Comedy / Theatre Industry , while he goes back to Goldsmith College, University of London to do his MA in Feature Film.

In Los Angeles USA & Kingston Jamaica he is referred to as the 'Big producer from England', and he has had the honour of working with and representing known actors such as, Oliver Samuels, Volier Johnson, Chris "Johnny" Daley & Audrey Reid. While in America he has worked with and is respected by the likes of Bill Bellamy (Last Comic Standing), Mark Curry (Hanging with Mr Cooper) and Kevin Hart (Soul Plane).

His interest in production started 7 years ago in a winebar in Streatham, South London called The Butterfly Bar where he started his first comedy shows and from there he has gone from strength to strength, helping others – sometimes to his detriment, but nonetheless he has still rose. The Rise of the Butterfly is a story of dedication, laughter, mistakes, victimisation, successess, friendship, business, blind faith and ambition. The following weekly chapters are an insight into the beginning of Kennedy's (as he is known as in the business) journey, where he reveals the excitement, obstacles, and truth about getting what you want and succeeding, while he takes you through a week by week account as he discusses studying for his Masters in Film to become a producer/scriptwriter.
