Gareth Morinan

Since starting in 2008, Gareth has established himself as one of the most creative rising stars of the comedy circuit; utilising his passions for drawing and analysis to create a live show that is unique and innovative. "Showed a strange, creative streak in his writing that's very appealing" - Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2008

In 2011 he had a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe, where his show 'The Truth (explained in doodles!)' received critical acclaim:
"An extremely enjoyable and original piece of comedy" (4 stars) - Three Weeks
"Clever, funny and original, Gareth Morinan is going places - see him now." (4 stars) - The Skinny
Gareth is currently working on his first solo hour, which he plans to take to festivals in 2012. 

Gareth is also an experienced improviser, and has recently founded 'The Wilmington Players', one of the only groups in the UK to perform Chicago style long-form improv.
Also he will soon be appearing alongside Warwick Davis on BBC and HBO, having been cast by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant for a role in their new sitcom "Life's Too Short". 
He will also be appearing in the attached BBC documentary "Short Work", which followed Gareth's trip to the Edinburgh Festival.
