There are 3 types of people in this world... Those who can count and those that can't.

About Me

34 and Northern. Lived in Leeds since the Summer of 2000. Entertainments Manager of one of Headingley's finest drinking establishments. Recently gone freelance doing sign-writing on chalkboards for bars, restaurants etc. I'm always looking for new work so if you need any boards doing please get back to me. I have 15 years experience. Also available as an indie dj, quizmaster and compere. Still working on the stand-up. Had two gigs now and need to get a few more under my belt. Also have ideas for 10+ quality tv shows that I would love to see get made (one of them would even work for ITV!). In my spare time I like to "Action Dance" (TM) and make clockwork monkeys.

My Interests

Music, Football (Blades fan), Booze, Action Dancing and, lest we forget, "swimming, reading and socialising with my friends". 1st Youtube clip is the Scrubs cast doing Charlie Brown as a Christmas present for their crew. It's 10 mins long but worth every second... enjoy! And this is the game show that is Takeshi's Castle, Peter Andre wrote "Insania" about it. (Technically a lie).

I'd like to meet:

Any showbiz agents in Leeds or Manchester (actually there doesn't seem to be any in Leeds so I guess it's gotta be London then) to pitch my TV ideas to production companies... plus (seeing as you're asking) Simon Pegg, Jessica Stevenson, Vorderman (like Highlander - there can be only one), Paul McCartney, Paul & Barry Chuckle, Seth MacFarlane, Frank Skinner, Harrison Ford, Sean Lock, Frankie Boyle, Tim Lovejoy, Helen Chamberlain & Cheggers.Get Free Opinion Polls
