Henry Naylor is a British comedy writer and performer, best known for his work with comedy partner Andy Parsons in "Parsons and Naylor's Pull-Out Sections".cite web |url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/tv_and_radio/article3666386.ece |publisher=The Times |date=April 5 2008 |title=ITV's satire show Headcases to be more than Spitting Images lookalike |accessdate=2008-05-05 ]

He was head writer for "Spitting Image", and has written for many shows including, "Noel's House Party", "Dead Ringers" and "Alistair McGowan's Big Impression". With Parsons, he has performed satirical shows in live venues in Australia and as part of the Edinburgh Fringe. "Parsons and Naylor’s Pull-Out Sections" broadcast its ninth season on BBC Radio 2 during Spring 2007. A compilation CD was released in 2003.

In 2008, he wrote much of Headcases, a satirical ITV show very similar to "Spitting Image", but made with CGI rather than puppets. [http://www.chortle.co.uk/news/2007/05/17/5332/a_spitting_image_for_the_digital_age]

His face is also known for playing Rowan Atkinson's sidekick 'Bough' in a series of commercials for Barclaycard. He reprised the role in early publicity for "Johnny English", but the role was taken over by Ben Miller.

In 2003 he was in the news for throwing a full English breakfast at David Blaine during his "Above the Below" stunt on the south bank of the River Thames in London.

Plays

Naylor has written and directed plays for the Edinburgh Fringe, usually playing in The Gilded Balloon Teviot Wine Bar. "Finding Bin Laden" (2003) was a satire about the media's representation of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq, which also featured co-director Sam Maynard's documentary photography. It received positive reviews, and Naylor has adapted it for the big screen; "Hard News" is scheduled to be produced in summer 2005.

"Hunting Diana", his 2004 Fringe offering, was about conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Diana, Princess of Wales.

In 2007 he directed Sarah Kendall's Fringe show "My Very First Kidnapping".
