About Us
In 2010, Lynn Ferguson and Mark Tweddle created Nedulous Productions LLC as an umbrella for their online projects, which we renamed FERDLE LLC in 2023. We have created a bunch of projects and small business ventures over the years, but YouTellYours.com and later, FishAndBear.net have become the foundation for us.
Connection, Creativity, and Clarity - Delivered in Story
YouTellYours began when Lynn was asked to take part in storytelling events around Los Angeles. Storytelling is fun, interesting, and the basis of all human communication. However, this was when Mark arrived and realized how Lynn's storytelling skills and experience could provide huge value to the organizations he had worked with.
Lynn and Mark formed YouTellYours to focus on creating stronger connections between individuals and within teams, using narrative exercises to also improve clarity and creativity. Later, as our work developed, demand grew for Lynn to provide private coaching to clients, and so YouTellYours.com has become the home for this work.
So who are Lynn and Mark?
Lynn Ferguson
Lynn Ferguson is an award-winning writer-performer and a recognized force in the world of comedy.
As a regular storyteller for The Moth, she was often heard on their weekly show, broadcast on 200+ affiliate radio stations nationwide. Lynn has frequently hosted The Moth’s live Mainstage events at larger venues such as Club Nokia (LA), The Egg (Albany), or the State Theatre (Portland, Maine), as well as small, prestigious events such as the World Science Festival at the Players Theatre in New York and fundraising for Bono’s World Aids charity (RED). She also helped launch The Moth in the UK and Ireland in 2015.
In the UK, aside from voicing a plasticine chicken in the Movie Chicken Run, Lynn appeared regularly on TV and BBC Radio 4, writing and starring in three series of her own sitcom, as well as creating several critically acclaimed afternoon plays.
She has performed in numerous Edinburgh Fringe Festivals, garnering multiple award nominations and winning the prestigious Fringe First Award for writing and the Stage Award for Acting Excellence.
Since relocating to the US in 2008, Lynn worked as a staff writer for the CBS Peabody Award-winning Late Late Show and as a script consultant for Pixar on the Academy Award-winning movie Brave. Recently, she was invited to join the International Emmy Awards judging panel and to host their Comedy Panel in New York.
Mark Tweddle
Mark makes every electronic part of this business work.
Unable to ignore “How?” questions, Mark continually amasses knowledge of how ‘stuff’ works. And by ‘stuff’ we include people, organizations, and teams with machines, computers, and the more tangible ‘stuff.’
Generally, Mark’s been employed to use his leadership, management, IT, digital marketing, social media, and video production knowledge. As a result, he has worked across many business areas, including manufacturing, travel, IT support, and the UK government's defense department. Ultimately, he’s found it difficult to find the perfect role for his skills and interests until now.
Mark’s love of storytelling has quietly simmered over the years, starting with the independent movies he would watch at the GFT. He will still talk passionately of watching Spalding Grey’s “Swimming to Cambodia,” a movie that is entirely a monologue. Something that he may well help Lynn attempt someday!
Mark struggled with public speaking for years until he worked on a story with Lynn. In fact, he had not talked publicly about anything without a script or notes until he told the story we’ve included on this page. As a result of this experience, Mark is, in many ways, the driving force behind promoting the relevance of good storytelling across all areas of our modern lives.
FERDLE LLC is the business he’s always been looking for, as he gets to use all of his skills for a business that he is truly passionate about.
