About Me


Possibly The Best Thing You'll Ever See On TV..
Born in Cambridgeshire, educated at Stonyhurst College and studied zoology at Bristol University. 45 years old this year (06) Starred in a BAFTA award winning movie (best short film) for My Wrongs 8245 - 8249 and 117. 2004, Channel 4 aired a show called The Comedian's Comedian. Foremost writers & performers of comedy ranked their 50 favourite acts. ME, yes I was number 11, above those such as Bill Hicks, Peter Sellers and Eddie Izzard.
In 1991 i largely gave up work as a mainstream disc jockey and devoted myself to comedy with his radio project On the Hour. Working with Armando Iannucci, Patrick Marber, Richard Herring, Stewart Lee, Steve Coogan and others, i created a highly original spoof news show which was broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
I've teamed up with comedy lgenious Peter Cook, as Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling, in a series of improvised conversations for Radio Three, entitled Why Bother?.
I once falsely suggested on the radio that Jimmy Savile and Conservative MP Michael Heseltine had died; which was utterly hilarious! I've also performed a song in the style of Pulp lead singer Jarvis Cocker about notorious child-murderer Myra Hindley with the following lyrics: "Every time I see your picture, Myra/I have to phone my latest girlfriend up and fire her/And find a prostitute who looks like you and hire her/Oh, me oh Myra." Should have got to Number 1 methinks!
"In 2001 a reprise of Brass Eye on the subject of paedophilia led to record numbers of viewer complaints" Because Fact x Importance = NEWS
**This is a fansite...not CM Sorry!! Maybe one day we'll meet when he creates his own Myspak, though i severely doubt it! I'm just doing it in hope that someone connected to him will see this, let him know and he'll want to track me down and beat me black & blue for setting up a fucking Myspace page...It's all true. None of it isn't not.**WATCH SCREENWIPE**
