About Me

I am a comedian and writer. In the 1990s I worked with Stewart Lee on such shows as "Fist of Fun" and "This Morning With Richard Not Judy". I wrote the Sky 1 series "Time Gentlemen Please" with Al Murray the Pub Landlord. I am currently working as a stand up comedian and appearing on such radio shows as "Banter" and "That Was Then, This Is Now".
