Kevin Precious

Kevin Precious has had something of a long and varied career in the business of show, making his first tentative foray into the world of entertainment as a teenage bass playing dirt bag in the working men's clubs of that northern metropolis, Hull.

Venturing South, he continued his musical adventures in the Big Smoke, playing in all manner of different outfits, the culmination of which saw him perform at the legendary Ronnie Scott's on a couple of occasions. He also managed to gain experience playing abroad in places as far flung as New York and Reykjavik, as well as an extensive tour of Japan.

In the 1990's, Kevin set up a 'Pop quiz' in a trendy boozer in Camden, which rapidly became laden with celebrities and culminated in him being asked to organise and compere the NME's first national pop quiz. It was these events that would later inspire a move into comedy. Sometime thereafter he took the plunge.

To date, Kevin has performed full sets at many of the top clubs throughout London including the Banana Cabaret, Downstairs at the Kings Head and the East Dulwich Cabaret, as well as innumerable sets out of town in places such as Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and Bristol. He has also delighted Dutch audiences, performing in Amsterdam on several occasions.

Having lived in Brigton for some time now, Kevin has been involved in the organisation and presenting of two series of 'House of Fun' for Meridian TV, as well as compering the quarter final of the BBC new acts competition for four consecutive years of gigs locally. He can currently be found fronting several 'Barnstormers' gigs in and around Sussex

More recently,he has performed sets at the Birmingham Glee club as well as compering the Cardiff Glee. He also has a degree in Religious Studies.
