About Me

"You'll want to see what the all the fuss is about"
THE LIST
"invigorates the room with a burst of fresh energy, proving his credentials from the get-go, which was a standard other found difficult to match. The material is never less than smartly written with routines so well put-together it belies his lack of stage time and promises a healthy future"
STEVE BENNETT
CHORTLE
"a remarkably accomplished stage presence with blistering material which pushes dangerously near the boundries of good taste. Expertly raising the standard he has now become a leader for young Scottish comics to follow"
