Why us
Actor-craft, applied to real-world stakes.
We have spent over fifteen years inside boardrooms, hospital training suites, dealership floors and live brand activations. Not Too Tame Commercial takes the same craft that powers our award-winning theatre. Presence, voice, story, listening. We apply it where real money, real careers and real outcomes are on the line.
Whether you are prepping a surgical trainee for their exams, launching an energy drink, retraining a national sales force or scaling an NHS communications programme, we build the room, write the scenarios and coach your people until they own it.

Testimonial
"For senior Royal College medical qualifications, live oral examinations are important to demonstrate medical knowledge, but medical knowledge is not the whole picture."
"The skill to present to both the patient and the examiner a full interpretation of medical facts, with an explanation so the patient understands the situation, is essential. Jimmy has the ability to teach in such a pleasant manner that the candidate can express their medical knowledge in a calm, reassuring and unpatronising way, while clearly explaining the facts and plans to the examiner and the patient in a professional and clear manner."
"Jimmy assesses the candidate's communication skills and looks to strengthen their abilities in a friendly and effective manner, not only giving the candidate examination skills, but skills to be used lifelong in the workplace."
"My interaction with Jimmy and the trainee was an outstanding experience, and successful for the candidate in the short and long term. I would encourage trainees who wish to increase their communication skills to utilise the expertise Jimmy offers. It's very helpful, and a very good experience for all involved."
