About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Squirell - Image Hosting

I am a writer, stand-up comic, actor, and presenter. I had a completely normal life until winter 2003. It was then that I, foolishly it seemed at the time, started cracking jokes in a pub. By Christmas 2003 I had lost my Clapham flat, my girlfriend, and the people at the office I had worked my whole life to get into, began to doubt me. Comedy took hold like a pleasant cancer and my life fell apart for the first time into blissful, glorious, unorganised artistic disarray. Now, nearly three years on I crack gags for a living and ponce around on telly with lots of lovely people and get to spend time doing what I love most: writing. I live on the coast with my talented writer and actress fiancee and have two sons (well, cats) Keith, a Burmilla and Wayne, a tonkinese. They are also both comedians. They work the cat circuit.Watch this clip of me on The World Comedy tour, Australia...

My Interests

Comedy, Music, Reading, Partying, And Ting...

I'd like to meet:

People who love mirth and music. Send new friends requests and my ego will accept. We all like to be liked, but comedians are the worst for egotistical neediness.

Music:

Current top five:The Foo Fighters, The Raconteurs, The Rakes, The Kooks, James Blunt (just kidding), Arctic Monkeys.

Movies:

Too difficult. Too many. American Beauty. Jean de Florette. Twelve Monkeys. Anything Monty Python. Nothing with Keira Knightly (unless she dies in it, with the fucking annoying pouting look on her face as she croaks). That one that one The Oscar this year: Crash. And loads more.

Television:

Not much really. Obviously all the stand up on Paramount: especially The World Stand's Up; The World Comedy Tour; and Edinburgh & Beyond. The Office - of course. And the tiniest smattering of footie.

Books:

Madame Bovary. The Sea, The Sea. Therese Raquin. Chambers Biographical Dictionary. Frank Skinner's autobiography. Poetry by Pablo Neruda.

Heroes:

Laurel & Hardy. Winston Churchill. William Shakespeare. Iris Murdoch. The Three Stooges. Terry Gilligham (and the rest of them). Spike Milligan. Norman Wisdom. Maybe Seinfeld.

Tales of a Comedians Ego - March 2007

Hello Comedy Sluts, What a freakin few months it has been. I am now fully installed in my Southend-on-sea abode, and it has provided more simulation than baking soda on a clitoris. (Please forgi...

Tales of a Comedian's Ego: Part 3

Holy shit. What a week. It kicked off with an absolutely rip-roaring motherfucker of a gig in  Kingston, Surrey. There was a posh family in the front row from Tadworth, and I was really horrible ...
