Hello and welcome to my website.

STOP PRESS
Read about my Edinburgh Festival Show 'Sleepless' here

I’m a stand-up comedian and writer. You’ll notice fairly soon that writing fantastic blurb about myself is not my strong point. (That was an attempt at self-deprecating humour, but I’m not very good at that either.)

I hope the info in the Biog section and the Reviews will do the talking for me….

“A master craftsman” (Time Out 2003) "Brilliantly satirical" (Time Out 2008)

…and that you’ll want to check out the Gig List and come and see me working.

"..one of the most creative and incisive comics on the circuit" (Guardian)

If you want to join my mailing list, please go to the Contacts page. I’ll be sending out sporadic updates of my gig list and the occasional newsletter, and not passing the information on to anyone. Which in itself, makes me more reliable and less technologically inept than most branches of Her Majesty’s Government.

I can’t promise to update the Blog all that often, since subjecting strangers to my latest thoughts and observations is what I do most nights of the week, on stage, where the advantage for all of us is that the material gets a laugh or it gets thrown out. Whereas in the blog there are no such safety measures….

Finally, amazing though it may seem, none of the Photos or Video footage have been airbrushed or doctored in any way. That really is what I look like. And if you don’t believe it, check out the Gig List and come and see you for yourself.
