I completed a run at Edinburgh 2006 in the well established Big Value Comedy Show.. at The Café Royal. I also recently performed at The Brighton Comedy festival in a show recorded for BBC Radio 7.

I have a small part in the new Sharon Horgan sitcom ANGELO’S on channel 5 starting Nov 16th 2007!

Started doing stand up in May 2005!.
July 2005 I was sent an email about Jimmy Carr’s Comedy Idol, I applied & to cut a long story short triumphed. That month I was crowned Comedy Idol 2005, I appeared with Mr Carr at The Bloomsbury Theatre, my performance was filmed and subsequently appears on his live DVD which was released in November 2005. That year I was also a semi-finalist in the BBC New Comedy awards and also in So You Think You’re Funny.

I run my own comedy night in Southampton at The Orange Rooms guests have included Russell Brand, Reg D Hunter, Micheal Mcintyre, Gary Delaney, Sean Collins, Tony Law plus many others. Its the first Sunday of every month.

I have recently appeared in some TV comedy sketches with Jimmy Carr that can now be seen on his new 2007 DVD release, I have also recorded several comedy VTs for a Sky One show called Popcorn that aired from October 2006. I have also contributed to and appeared in a Bwark Productions radio show called The Weekly show hosted by Frankie Boyle on Channel 4 radio. I also recently appeared in a pilot for RDF called ..The Gift.. and have appeared in several pilot panel shows recently for Monkey Kingdom TV. I am a weekly comedy guest on ..The Saturday Morning show.. on BBC Radio Solent

My style has been described as laconic and charming(not my words). I talk about my failings, inadequacies, mistakes and general stupidity all tinged with an air of paranoia and insecurity but delivered with supreme confidence and sexual edginess(?) It’s a proper mish-mash!
